Headed For The Hills Lyrics

Headed For The Hills lyrics

Well I forded the river

I paid all my bills

Gave a gift to the giver

Now I'm headed for the hills



I paid back my borrows

Likewise all my dues

I'll be gone tomorrow

Nothing here I can use



Headed for the hills

Headed for the hills

I can't hear 'em calling

Headed for the hills



Once I had a a woman

Deaf and mute and blind

Only one could hear me

When I tried to speak my mind



Once I had a fiddle

Once I had a bow

There's nothing on the griddle

But I paid back all I owed



Headed for the hills

Headed for the hills

I can't hear 'em calling

Headed for the hills



Can't roll off to glory

Much less Arkansas

Or freedom teritory

Till you satisfy the law



No love, lock and chain

Provides me the key

No blood-soaked law of Cain

Can set my spirit free



Headed for the hills

Headed for the hills

I can't hear 'em calling

Headed for the hills



Last thing I got to do

One thing before I go

To say my love for you

Was all the love I know



If you don't forget me

I'll do the same for you

Forever in your memory

To pay back all that's due



Headed for the hills

Headed for the hills

I can't hear 'em calling

Headed for the hills



Headed for the hills

Headed for the hills

I can't hear 'em calling

Headed for the hills



I can't hear 'em calling

Headed for the hills
