You and I are riding To the old place side by side We left behind the city And the muddy river wide You brush your hair back with you hand And smile that special smile And I'm tappin' on the wheel For ten more miles [Chorus:] These hills will take me in These hills where I am known These hills don't care where I've been Or where it is I'm goin' These hills are like my mother's arms Where I was grown These hills don't leave me lonely These hills of home An old song, it's ringin' between my ears About land and you and me, but It mixes up with purple mountains
Sea to shining sea, now Just around that bend Is the place I long to be And my lips form the words that set me free [Chorus] Turn to the rain Turn to the thunder Turn to the sun and the moon Turn to the stars that fall from the sky Singin' I'll be all right, You‘ll be all right We'll be all right soon So, we take a few things borrowed We've left behind the blues We are headed for tomorrow As the sun starts breakin' through If there's doubts there are not many It there are joys we have a few As we climb into these dreams we're headed to [Chorus]
