The Cains - Smoke On The Hill lyrics

Daddy came home drunk and mean One too many times I became his punching bag and Lie about black eyes He'd light up a cigarette and Pop another pill I can still see the smoke on the hill Momma tried to fight him off with all her ninety pounds When you've been beat down all your life It's hard to stand your ground I grabbed a stick of stove wood For a fire I did not build I can still see the smoke on the hill Some nights I wake up from a dream I was laying in sheets soaked in kerosine When the neighbors came to help Momma blamed it on the whiskey still I can still see the smoke on the hill Momma married a widowed man and moved to Collinwood I never go back there Where the old house stood People still ask questions And I guess they always will I can still see the smoke on the hill Some nights I wake up from a dream I was laying in sheets soaked in kerosine People say that memories fade In time, these scars will heal But I can still see the smoke on the hill I can still see the smoke on the hill I can still see the smoke on the hill
