Old as the Hills is the first song Tiny Ruins first full-length album.
It tells the story of an old woman who is now alone after her sons went to war, her daughters went to the city, her dog has died and her love has left on the sea.
[Verse 1]
Lean in friend
Lean in friend
And I'll tell you a tale
Be a good friend
Be a good friend
As I tread the stage awhile
[Verse 2]
It was late in the day
The day after the fair
When I heard tell of her
She lived so far away
Further, farther and beyond
Well, you know they say
[Chorus]
She was old as the hills
And worn as a train
On rails of old steel wool
She was old as the hills
[Verse 3]
And her sons were all gone
Killed in battle and won
By someone above
'stead of coming on home
And her daughters were gone
Followed love and they'd run
To the city below
'stead of coming on home
[Chorus]
She was old as the hills
And worn as a train
On rails of old steel wool
She was old as the hills
[Verse 4]
She had a bullet in her bonnet
The last that she owned
And her gun in her pocket
To keep her strong when she rode
She went fishing in the shallows
For eels and minnows
Which she fried up so nicely
All salty and spicy
[Chorus]
She was old as the hills
And worn as a train
On rails of old steel wool
She was old as the hills
[Verse 5]
And her dog was gone
Whom she'd cared for so long
They had whiskey and plums
On his lavender bed
And her love was gone
When he heard the sea's song
Left the shore all alone
To travel the world around
[Chorus]
She was old as the hills
And worn as a train
On rails of old steel wool
She was old as the hills
