Douglas Ray Jaffe - Top Of The Hill Lyrics

In the front seat of a rail car, lady asked the conductor
How long he'd been riding trains
Said ten years, maybe more, I've found it's hard to kill
Two seconds at the same time when you get to the top of the hill
There's always one more hill to climb when you get to the top of the hill
There's always one more hill to climb when you get to the top of the hill
Young couples staring outside, riding rails looking for work
Flashing chaos in their eyes
One more town of rust and dirt, prairie land turning to steel
Peace and quiet too hard to find when you get to the top of the hill
There's always one more hill to climb when you get to the top of the hill
There's always one more hill to climb when you get to the top of the hill
Next to him a man said I agree, made a living going shore to shore
Paradise got the best of me
Can't remember what for, when I started living on my own
Why it didn't take me long to find when you get to the top of the hill
There's always one more hill to climb when you get to the top of the hill
There's always one more hill to climb when you get to the top of the hill
Kid in the back stood up, said why you cop an attitude
We got it hard and got it rough
All coming unglued, dying for one more dollar bill
Close till you get to the finish line when you get to the top of the hill
There's always one more hill to climb when you get to the top of the hill
There's always one more hill to climb when you get to the top of the hill
When you get to the top of the hill
When you get to the top of the hill
When you get to the top of the hill
