Robert On The Hill

[Verse]
Robert on the hill with his shepherd by his side
Drinking beer and smiling while the world goes for a ride
Volvo in the driveway house with no lights on
Up above the valley 'neath the early morning dawn
[Verse 2]
Christmas curtains hanging through the seasons every day
Three-plated stove cooking as the badgers fade away
No lights in the windows just a shadow on the hill
Robert and his shepherd they got time to just be still
[Chorus]
Robert on the hill never needs a fancy thrill
Just his dog some beer and a house that sits so still
Dead badgers in the garden curtains made of cheer
Living life on simple terms with nothing left to fear
[Verse 3]
Volvo gathers dust but it always gets them far
Robert knows the secrets held within the brightest star
German shepherd barks chasing shadows of the night
In a house so dim where everything feels right
[Bridge]
He's a king without a castle a man without a crown
Keeps it all together in his laid-back little town
Doesn't need the neon or the bells of city squares
All he needs is laughter in a life without big cares
[Chorus]
Robert on the hill never needs a fancy thrill
Just his dog some beer and a house that sits so still
Dead badgers in the garden curtains made of cheer
Living life on simple terms with nothing left to fear
