West Hills

Alright, well, I'm 26 so I've lived here for 26 years I married my high school sweetheart So we've been married, we've been together 11 years Um, I don't really travel much, so I've just been here, haha Uh, I'm, I'm busy John, you'll have to wait Uh, my little brother, he moved into the community And they tried to tape him to a flagpole or a tree up at the high school So if you don't fit their mold... Just a nice, small community, everybody knows everybody Good place to live and to raise kids, we'll be here forever, so yeah, it's a good area I was born right here in Zion God's own son His Holy ghost stories and bloodshed Never scared me none While they bowed their heads on Sunday Cut out through the hedges and fields Where the light could place its hands on my head In the West Hills Free in the West Hills Free in the West Hills She's got two full grown children One still on the vine And once I got to know him I loved him like he was mine Some nights we drive up the mouth of the canyon On hillbilly heroin pills We get out and watch the sunset Peaceful and still And free in the West Hills Free in the West Hills When the sheriff kicked my door down I was sleeping in my own bed And the mess I got caught up in Rained hard down on my head And they got me for possession Of them hillbilly heroin pills Enough to kill the horses that run Free in the West Hills They got me for possession of enough to kill The horses that run Free in the West Hills Free in the West Hills If this life was meant for proving I could use more years to live But 15 in a guardhouse That's more than I'm willing to give And if there really is a judgement When he pulls my chart He'll reject my actions But he will know my heart And he'll prepare a place for me Where happiness instills And the light puts its loving hands on my head Free in the West Hills They got me for possession of enough to kill The horses that run Free in the West Hills Free in the West Hills Free Free in the West Hills In the West Hills In the West Hills Hills
