Home Free - Castle On The Hill Lyrics






When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then
Take me back to when

I found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long
I know I've grown
But I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way
You make me feel
It's real
When we watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill

Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
I don't reckon that I did it right
But I was younger then
Take me back to when

We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long
Oh, how we've grown
I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way
You make me feel
It's real
When we watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me
And I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way
And I still remember these old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way
You make me feel
It's real
When we watched the sunset
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

    Huge country fan here. I’ve never heard of this band until right now and now I think I might start listening to their songs. (And no country isn’t the only genre that I listen too. I’m not from the south like my mom so I listen to heavy metal, rock n roll, west coast rap, hip hop, and pop. People always think country is the only thing I listen too for some reason. I’m from Minnesota and they still think that.)

  2. J.... D....

    I don't know if someone else said it but, at around 2:36 Rob goes to say "sunrise" instead of "sunset" lol

  3. J.... L....

    2019 here they r so awesome

  4. P.... ....

    Chance's voice is so fucking good for this song. Well it's so fucking good .

  5. B.... P....

    I love the way you guys sang this song I met you all about 2 years ago your awesome !!!

  6. J.... S....

    I love home free. Their voices always amaze me. So much talent.

  7. J.... T....

    OMGGGGGG they turned the song so much more wholesome than it already was!!!!

    Goodbye St Pancreas, Bonjour Gare du Nord, closer to your smile with every mile
     
    This is the sweet spot of my life,
    With the woman I want for my wife
    OOOOhhhh this is the sweet spot of my life
    The days are full of warmth and sun
    My heart is light
    The future with you is bright,
    This is the sweet spot of my life
    With you, with you, ooooh  oooh
    This is the sweet spot
    It doesn’t get much better
    Unless I kiss her
    Every day Any way ooooh ooooh
    This is the sweet spot of my life
    Now and from now on
    Until I am gone
    It will always be
    The sweet spot of my life

  9. J.... D....

    Omg its soooo goooood!!

  10. M.... C....

    I love how great thou art.
    I am not sure how this is good. If viewed to a bible character the rich young ruler. Or old testament orpah. She goes home to her family and thier gods. Leaving ruth and naomi to go to the castle on the hill. A song about finding Christ and walking away for the world is too much fun. America has idolitry all through the holidsys and many scriptures God nd Christ say stop that. Remember he died for you.
    Ed sherran. Looks perfect. Dancing in darkness. Sounds like the garden. Why promote him after singing How great though art? Makes no sense. In the world and not of it but also for the three musts in john 3 youll get there. Amen

  11. A.... ....

    When I saw the live version, I am more thrilled on how 5 voices (+a soundboard?) were able to make these heavenly harmonies.

  12. M.... F....

    Took a "Chance" truly succeeded ❤️✨⚡️🌟⭐️💥

  13. S.... A....

    Love Ed Sheeran.......but.......love Home Free more!😍

  14. S.... Y....

    Does anyone else hear a weird sort of auto-tune sound during Tim's verse? Not trying to suggest they're using auto-tune because none of the rest of the song has it, but there's some strange effect on Tim's voice. Could be a recording issue, idk.

    S.... Y....

    In some songs they will use a loop (of their own voices) to add more sound affects to a song.

  15. D.... H....

    Chance killin the vocals again

    When I was six years old I broke my leg
    I was running from my brother and his friends
    And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
    I was younger then, take me back to when I

    Found my heart and broke it here
    Made friends and lost them through the years
    And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
    But I can't wait to go home

    I'm on my way
    Driving at ninety down those country lanes
    Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
    And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
    We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

    Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
    Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
    Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
    But I was younger then, take me back to when

    We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
    We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
    Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
    But I can't wait to go home

    I'm on my way
    Driving at ninety down those country lanes
    Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
    And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
    We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
    Over the castle on the hill
    Over the castle on the hill

    One friend left to sell clothes
    One works down by the coast
    One had two kids but lives alone
    One's brother overdosed
    One's already on his second wife
    One's just barely getting by
    But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home

    And I'm on my way, I still remember
    This old country lanes
    When we did not know the answers
    And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
    We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
    Over the castle on the hill
    Over the castle on the hill

    Had the privilage of hearing Home Free live in concert this past weekend in Kansas City. WOW!!!! I was in love with their music before the show but their live performance was AMAZING!! If you have the chance to see them, do so!! Come back to Kansas City guys.... I'm ready for another round! God Bless you all.

  18. E.... R....

    Can’t wait to see you guys live...

  19. T.... K....

    Wow! Beautiful!

  20. S.... S....

    I'm a huge Ed Sheeran fan, and I enjoyed the official music video for this song. But frankly, guys, I LOVE this version of the song so much more. Wonderful job!

  21. J.... K....

    I never have been fond of country music, but you guys are great. I love your sound.

  22. h.... ....

    At 4:20 is that a Penrith Panthers NRL hat from Australia?! Great music boys, you rocked out at CMC, please come back again!

    h.... ....

    Doubt it's at 4:20... that's the end of the clip!

  23. P.... S....

    Fucking hell it's country ed sheeran

  24. H.... M....

    Great song!

  25. g.... l....

    I think Ed Sheeran would be proud of this version. Speaking as a fan of his.

  26. J.... W....

    Chance, that range!!

  27. E.... W....

    Sounds like original

  28. K.... R....

    Have I grown? It's not anime keeping me up waaay too late--it's an acapella group singing covers of different songs. Except... that group is five guys with voices like angels and faces to match being hilarious and moving in music videos... Yeah, maybe I haven't grown as much as I would like. :3

  29. E.... J....

    Can’t get over how much I love this song

  30. E.... J....

    Love it and it is now one of my favorite songs. Almost better than the original

  31. A.... Z....

    This was amazing better than Ed Sheeran

  32. W.... ....

    I said it before, and I'll say it again: "You guys found one hell of a baritone!" The way you gentlemen blend put you above Pentatonix and all the other acapella groups I follow. Nice, gentlemen!

  33. j.... j....

    Love hearing Chance sing. you have a beautiful voice!

  34. L.... M....

    Please make a cover Misty mountains from Hobbit 😍😍😍😍

  35. A.... ....

    How are these men not have 1M subs?!

  36. A.... K....

  37. T.... D....

    Simply amazing

  38. S.... M....

    Wow, i love your cover version 😍 It‘s great 👍👍👍

  39. M.... R....

    Oh my gosh to hear them do this song live in concert it is out of this world! Chance has such a mellow, deep voice that is just perfect for this song. He did a amazing job in concert! I was blown away by their voices. So pure, perfect and on point!

  40. G.... T....

    What's with the instrument?

    G.... T....

    G. T. Void - There are no instruments, it’s all vocal. They do use a looper on this one for the repetitive background sounds, but that’s all. They do the live looping in concert as well.

  41. k.... ....

    very suitable for lyrics and sounds

  42. S.... D....

    Really Love This part 0:55

  43. G.... f....

    I cant get enough of Home Free and want everone to see and hear them. Each of the guys brings something different to the table. Chance your voice is sooo beautiful man, it gives me the chills. You guys must never break up, but how about a solo career for you, I will be the fist one to buy the cd or download the tracks

  44. E.... R....

    Saw em in concert. New favorite music group.

  61. E.... P....

    I waited almost a year to listen to this just because I love the original version so much that I didn't want it to be overshadowed by how amazing I knew this cover was going to be. But I'm glad I finally did, because while this is a top notch cover and it's absolutely perfect, I still love Eds just as much.

  62. K.... V....

    Rob is like a teddy bear!I love him

  63. O.... C....

    would love to see you in concert...shooting for July in Ohio...hope to make it

  65. B.... T....

    Okay, but why is no one talking about Rob at 2:45

  66. S.... W....

    I cannot stop listening to this song. When I'm running, studying, driving, I just gravitate towards this piece. Amazing.

  67. L.... L....

    I was kinda sceptical of a country acapella group covering an Ed Sheeran, but this is easily the best cover if this song I've ever heard

  68. B.... M....

    Refound this after HTTYD trailer! You guys are still amazing!

  69. b.... b....
