Hill Spring Lyrics by Richard Inman

Lake Town Blues EP

2015

If I can make it back to Hill Spring
I swear I'd be just fine
I could tell you that I'm sorry
And I never took the time
No, my arms, they are not broken
And my legs have worked just fine
If I can make it back to Hill Spring
I swear I'd make you proud this time
I heard you called at Christmas
I was hiding in the Chain
Spending all my money
Trying to kill away the pain
How to tell you that I lost
All of the things I worked to gain?
And I can't make it back to Hill Spring
And it's driving me insane
Working jobs out in the city
"Indian" became my name
Trying to save a little money
So I could finally break away
Once it trapped you at the bottom
You've become what you ain't
Never make it back to Hill Spring
And they got you wearing chains
I remember we went riding
So high up on the range
You could see them rolling hills
They're sinking down into the plains
Far beneath that old Chief Mountain
Grandpa's sitting in the shade
And I can't make it back to Hill Spring
And it's driving me insane
No, I'll never be the thin man
That you wanted me to be
And I'd take a look around
The only one to blame is me
But I left the words you said to me
Said 'em again when I was 13
And I swore if I'd come back again
I'd make you proud of me
Well they towed away my pickup
But I hid this old guitar
And they sent it to the auction house
On the day I lost my job
And I heard the news that Sonny died
Just a week or two too late
And I can't make it back to Hill Spring
Yeah, it's driving me insane
No, I can't make it back to Hill Spring
Yeah, it's driving me insane
No, I can't make it back to Hill Spring
Yeah, it's driving me insane
