Back in the hills when we were only kids
Love shined like a diamond in your eyes
I swore Id never hurt you - then I did
Now Im all alone with all my lies
I promised that Id never be untrue
Id never make you cry
The only promise that I didnt break
Was to love you until the day I die
I wish Id 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 wouldnt listen though you told me dear
I couldnt see the lie
But all the same I still love you tonight
And Ill love you until the day I die
They built this prison just for fools like me
Who dont know a treasure from a stone
I killed a man now I wont ever see
The green rollin hills where I was born
No I wont ever see your face again
But if I close my eyes
I can almost hear you call me back to then
And Ill love you until the day I die
