lyrics

There's a place in the hills I like to go
A place that only me and a selected few will ever know
Walking the trails or standing alone
Looking down at the towns in the valleys below

You can talk to the hills and know they'll never lie
And only when the rain comes do you have to go inside
But the wind came screaming telling me to go home
Another wasted sunset I could have shared instead of stealing for my own

Don't back down I won't be taken alive
Damn straight! I won't be leaving tonight
And you can take note I won't be dying alone
Once I escape my head, I'll be heading for home

Society clipped my wings before I could fly
I won't lie, I won't lie
Society clipped my wings before I could fly
I won't lie, I won't lie

Don't back down I won't be taken alive
Damn straight! I won't be leaving tonight
And you can take note I won't be dying alone
Once I escape my head, I'll be heading for home

Don't back down I won't be taken alive
Damn straight! I won't be leaving tonight
And you can take note I won't be dying alone
Once I escape my head, I'll be heading for home

Don't back down I won't be taken alive
Damn straight! I won't be leaving tonight
And you can take note I won't be dying alone
Once I escape my head, I'll be heading for home
