Back in the hills when we were only kids. Love shined like a diamond in your eyes. I swore I'd never hurt you - then I did. Now I'm all alone with all my lies. I promised that I'd never be untrue. I'd never make you cry. The only promise that I didn't break. Was to love you until the day I die. I wish I'd never seen those city lights. A sight for a country boy to see. For every one that you see shinin' bright. Another is burnin' out like me. I wouldn't listen though you told me dear. I couldn't see the lie. But all the same I still love you tonight. And I'll love you until the day I die. They built this prison just for fools like me. Who don't know a treasure from a stone. I killed a man now I won't ever see. The green rollin' hills where I was born. No I won't ever see your face again. But if I close my eyes. I can almost hear you call me back to then. And I'll love you until the day I die
