Over the Hill
Ten Years After
Return to Top
I got water on the brain
My mind is like a drain
Here I go again
Over the hill
My eyes don't see too clear
I'm not sure what I hear
Seems I'm goin' clear
Over the hill
Like a cripple and his crutch
I have leaned a bit too much
Seems as I shall never touch
Again
Now it seems it's plain to see
That the stuff is killing me
Got to quit so I'll be free
Again
I've got too much to lose
No one can fill my shoes
Think I'll leave the blues
Over the hill
