Connor Fitzpatrick - "Thar Hills"
Lyrics:
Because you, me, and all of us agree
That there’s gold somewhere out there in them thar hills
Canyons miles wide, I’ll take you for the ride
Ain’t no crime in being bold, the stories will be told
Off the mountaintops of the ones who tried to bring us down
I remember when I saw you
As if it was yesterday
A rare human connection
Had jumped into the fray
The city stood tall around us
Cracked and filled with gray
No place for a human
With dream of getting away
Is it too much to ask for more
From a fleeting life like this
Is it too much to have a person
Beside you to spend it with
I took your hand in mine
You looked and said let's go
And so began a journey
Like the world would never know
Because you, me, and all of us agree
That there’s gold somewhere out there in them thar hills
Canyons miles wide, I’ll take you for the ride
Ain’t no crime in being bold, the stories will be told
Off the mountaintops of the ones who tried to bring us down
So we sailed the mississippi
As far upstream as we could
Dead ended into the great north
Just like we thought we would
And as we kept on moving
And the light began to fade
A storm blotted out the stars
And the last remnants of day
But just as all hope seemed lost
The skies opened with a smile
Colored waves that beat out the stars
And stretched on for miles and miles
A brief return of day, a frantic burst of light
But the auroras couldn’t take away your shine tonight
Because you, me, and all of us agree
That there’s gold somewhere out there in them thar hills
Canyons miles wide, I’ll take you for the ride
Ain’t no crime in being bold, the stories will be told
off the mountaintops of the ones who tried to bring us down
Because you, me, and all of us agree
That there’s gold somewhere out there in them thar hills
Canyons miles wide, I’ll take you for the ride
Ain’t no crime in being bold, the stories will be told
off the mountaintops of the ones who tried to bring us down
I’d like to see them take us down
To try and fail to take us down
You and me we’re never going down
Never going down
