Over the Hill

(Ronal McCown)



Once I was the young man with the world in my hand

But there were so many things I couldn't understand

You're moving backwards when you're standing still

And when you start climbing you're over the hill.



So now I've reached bottom and the pride is all gone

But I've learned the lesson I'd like to pass on

You can't reach heaven on a free rolling wheel

Or when you start climbing you're over the hill.



--- Instrumental ---



I'd give all my money and the wealth that I'd spend

For just one more chance of a love heaven sent

But the summer is over and I face winter's chill

'Cause when you start climbing you're over the hill.



So now I've reached bottom and the pride is all gone

But I've learned the lesson I'd like to pass on

You can't reach heaven on a free rolling wheel

Or when you start climbing you're over the hill.



When you start climbing you're over the hill...
