 Rate Houses On The Hill
Artist : Whiskeytown
Song : Houses on the hill
well, I found a bunch of letters they were written
for the fellow who broke your momma's heart and
the envelope foldssmelled of her ancient perfume
I'll bet she didn't know how to respond to forty
blankets of snow caught him out wandering alone
with no place to go there were stars in the sky
there were houses on the hill there were bottles
and pills that were easy to buy to keep her warm
from the oncoming storm well, I found them in
thenorthwest corner of the attic in a box labeled
"Tinsel and Lights" didn't know what I was
looking for maybe just a blanket or artifacts
Eisenhower sent him to war he kept her picture in
his pocketthat was closest to his heart and when
he hit shore it must have been a target for the
gunner-men there were stars in the sky there were
bunkers on the hill and there were caskets to
fill where he would lie shrouded in the red,
white & blue with the stripes there were stars
in the sky there were houses on the hill there
were bottles and pills that were easy to buy to
keep her warm from the oncoming storm
