A girl on the street from my home, like a fire on the hillside she shone.And I knew right then that my best days were gone.I've been in the lowlands too long, oh I've been in the lowlands too long.Oh I know, I know that I should go.But I've been in the lowlands too long.This is not how it was at the start.There's a doubt and a blame in my heart.And it's no one else, no fault but my own.I've been in the lowlands too long.Oh I've been in the lowlands too long.Oh I've been in the lowlands too long.Oh I know, I know that I should go.But I've been in the lowlands too long.Yeah what is this weight on my shoulders?And what is this a new sense of time?It's the open fields and the friends that are gone.It's the open fields and the friends that are gone.I've been in the lowlands too long.I can't sing out an old timey song.I can do nothing all the day longBut I can do right and I know I am wrongI've been in the lowlands too longOh, I've been in the lowlands too longOh, I know, I know that I should goBut I've been in the lowlands too long
