I dreamed I saw Jesus last night Seated on a mountain in the moonlight His hands held a key to a cabin That cabin I'd dreamed of all my life Money makes the rules we have to live by A home is just a place they send the bills God knows why we work and what we pray for So He's building me a cabin in the hills Who knows He might be finished in the morning So I lie awake and take no sleeping pills God knows I'm not happy in a mansion So He's building me a cabin in the hills I live my lonesome life down in a valley With the factories, the rivers and the mills Sometimes I can almost hear His hammer 'Cause He's building me a cabin in the hills Someone has to keep the home fire burning So I sweat and get the harvest in the field Life on earth won't be the same hereafter So He's building me a cabin in the hills I live my lonesome life down in a valley With the factories, the rivers and the mills Sometimes I can almost hear His hammer 'Cause He's building me a cabin in the hills He's building me a cabin in the hills
