 Half Mile  Hill,  eight years  old
 Standing on  top  with the world  below
   Me and my dad
 Talking  man to  man (-)
 Suitcase  packed,  he was moving  out
 Said, It's no one's  fault,  but I had  my  doubts
   And I have them still
 Up on  Half Mile  Hill (-)
 (Chorus)
 You can see the  ball fields
 Watch the cars go 'round the  courthouse
 See the  sun go  down
 Where the  street lamps glow
 On those checkerboard roads
 Wishing  I could  fly like a  cut-string  kite
   Tapping on the floor of  heaven
   Is anybody  listening?
 Half Mile  Hill,  seventeen (-)
 Tailing the summer, (-)  Angie and me (-)
 Kicking  beer cans off the side
   One last  time (-)
 She was wildcat  tough,  I was scarecrow  thin
 We were thick as  thieves  'til the bitter end (-)
   Trying to make time stand still
 Up on  Half Mile  Hill (-)
 Hey all, you  lovers and leavers
 Stuck in-betweeners
   Loners and stoners
 Old drunks and dreamers
   Rumbling and stumbling
 Always looking for something
   Past that no trespassing sign
 You can see the  ball fields
 Watch the cars go 'round the  courthouse
 See the  sun go  down
 Where the  street lamps glow
 On those checkerboard roads
 Wishing  I could  fly like a  cut-string  kite
   Tapping on the floor of  heaven
   Tapping on the floor of  heaven
   Is anybody listening?
 Up on Half Mile  Hill
 Is anybody  listening?
