over the next hill we ll be home

Johnny Cash

By the way the land is layin
I think I d be safe in sayin
That over the next hill we ll be home

It s a straight and narrow highway
No detours and no by ways
And over the next hill we ll be home

From the prophets I ve been hearin
I would say the end is nearin
For I see familiar landmarks all along

By the dreams that I ve been dreamin
There will come a great redeemin
And over the next hill we ll be home

I would say there s no mistakin
That over the next hill we ll be home

There s a place that we are nearin
That so many have been fearin
And over the next hill we ll be home

When we get there we re all hopin
That we ll find the gate is open
And there ll be a refuge from the comin storm

For the way s been long and weary
But at last the end is nearin
And over the next hill we ll be home
