Take me back to the blue house on the hill

Where the wallpaper's peel and the wildflowers fill the front yard

And the barn swallows dip and dive

I can see 'em out the window from the passenger side

Of your Pontiac

Our hands interlocked

Got the Eagles playing on the radio

Dad's talkin' soft

About life

And I don't know why

I know that he's wrong

But I can't wait to find out why

So don't wait up for me

'Cause I don't know when I'll be home

It just depends on where I am

Or where I think I want to go

And I know this is how it's supposed to be

But it still feels so wrong

If you want me

I'll be there

Back at that blue house on the hill

'Cause you know I'll always go there

To the blue house on the hill

Where the walls and the floors hold the blood and the sweat and the tears

That were shed in a fight or a chase or a bet or a hug or a dance

And the blood of my first deer

From the old dog with the gray beard

The one who only drinks beer

In the basement that's cluttered with old deer racks and old deer mounts

And I can't wait to show my son all the trophies

And all the old gear

That blue house on the hill

So don't wait up for me

'Cause I don't know when I'll be home

It just depends on where I am

Or where I think I want to go

And I know this is how it's supposed to be

But it still feels so wrong

If you want me

I'll be there

Back at that blue house on the hill

'Cause you know I'll always go there

So take me back

Where we built that ramp out of Dad's old wood

And we'd break bones 'cause we swore that we could

Jump that four-wheeler over that fence and

Still get back before dark

'Cause the streetlights only covered the first part of the drive

And it was way too long

And I just want to go home

So don't wait up for me

'Cause I don't know when I'll be home

It just depends on where I am

Or where I think I want to go

And I know this is how it's supposed to be

But it still feels so wrong

If you want me

I'll be there

Back at that blue house on the hill

'Cause you know I'll always go there

If you want me

I'll be there

Back at that blue house on the hill

'Cause you know I'll always go there
