The Band of Brothers: MP3s/Lyrics

Living Up On The Hill (lyrics)

(The Band of Brothers)
Michael Scott Smith
Note from Michael: This was the first song that I brought to The Band of Brothers. I wrote it at home on a beautiful sunny day, and it is a simple expression of my love for my wife and the home we have made.
Take the cup - Fill it up - Careful - Don’t let it spill.

Take all that life gives you - All God gives you.

Livin’ up on the hill.

Now that gal of mine - She’s got it made.

She’s as pretty as the pines - In the summer shade.

The bees are buzzin’ - Through the locust trees.

The corn is swayin’ in the breeze.

Take the cup - Fill it up - Careful - Don’t let it spill.

Take all that life gives you - All God gives you.

Livin’ up on the hill.

It’s a country mile - To the nearest town.

And I’ve got a smile that just won’t quit!

I can can see forever - Through the open skies.

I swear - I can’t get enough of it.

Take the cup - Fill it up - Careful - Don’t let it spill.

Take all that life gives you - All God gives you.

Livin’ up on the hill.
