[Verse 1]
Workin' night and day, I try to get ahead
But I don't get ahead this way
Workin' night and day, the railroad and the fence
Watch the train go roll around the bend
[Chorus 1]
Over the hillside
Over the moment
Over the hills and waiting
[Verse 2]
Workin' night and day, I try to get ahead
Workin' night and day, don't make no sense
Walk me into town, the ferry will be there
To carry us away into the air
[Chorus 2]
Over the hillside
Over white water
Over the hills and falling
[Post-Chorus]
The stars in your eyes
Knowin' what's right
The stars in your eyes
Don't explain
[Bridge]
Over the hillside, over the hillside
Over the hills and waiting
Over the hillside, over the hillside
Over the hills and home we'll go
[Refrain]
Tomorrow I will be there
Tomorrow I will be there
Tomorrow I will be there
Oh, you wait and see
[Outro]
I can't go on and I can't go back
I don't feel so matter of fact
I tried and tried to make good sense
What's the good to try it all again?
