(Alright, well, I'm 26 so I've lived here for 26 yearsI married my high school sweetheartSo we've been marri—we've been together 11 yearsHm, I don't really travel much so I've just been here, hahaUh, I'm, I'm busy John, you'll have to wait!Uh, my little brother, he moved into the communityAnd they tried to tape him to a flagpoleor a tree up at the high schoolSo if you don't fit their mold—Just a nice, small communityEverybody knows everybodyGood place to live and to raise kidsWe'll be here forever, soYeah, it's a good area)I was born right here in Zion, God's own sonHis Holy Ghost stories and bloodshed never scared me noneWhile they bowed their heads on SundayI cut out through the hedges and fieldsWhere the light could place its hands on my headIn the west hillsFree in the west hillsFree in the west hillsShe's got two full-grown children, one still on the vineAnd once I got to know him I loved him like he was mineSome nights we drive up the mouth of the canyonOn hillbilly heroin pillsWe get out and watch the sunsetPeaceful and stillAnd free in the west hillsFree in the west hillsWhen the sheriff kicked my door downI was sleeping in my own bedAnd the mess I got caught up inRained hard down on my headThey got me for possession of them hillbilly heroin pillsEnough to kill the horses that run free in the west hillsThey got me for possession of enoughTo kill the horses that runFree in the west hillsFree in the west hillsIf this life was meant for provingI could use more years to liveBut fifteen in a guardhouseThat's more than I'm willing to giveAnd if there really is a judgementWhen He pulls my chartHe'll reject my actionsBut He will know my heartAnd he'll prepare a place for meWhere happiness instillsAnd the light puts its loving hands on my headFree in the west hillsThey got me for possession of enoughTo kill the horses that runFree in the west hillsFree in the west hillsFree, free in the west hills, in the west hills, in the west hills
