Ridgetop |
| Well, I live on a ridgetop |
| And, Lord knows, I like it just fine |
| Where it’s windy and foggy |
| And quiet most all the time |
| Yeah, my lawn is pine needles |
| And my driveway is old funky dirt |
| And my front pathway markers |
| Are pieces of granite and chert |
| Now, my taxes are high |
| But I don’t believe it’s a sin |
| I’ve got hundred foot pine trees |
| That just love to dance in the wind |
| And a yard full of bushes |
| That turn into pie in July |
| Between blue jays and hoot owls |
| I’ve got twenty-four hour singing sky |
| Now, when I built my house |
| I cut six trees to clear out the land |
| But there’s thirty or more left |
| And you know that they’re gonna stand |
| It’s a squirrel sanctuary |
| They think this woods is their home |
| And as long as I’m here |
| I’ll make sure people leave us all alone |
| Yes, the hill that I live on is steep |
| And the road’s full of ruts |
| And the people who live in the flatlands |
| Think we folks are nuts |
| But the ruts in my road and the curves |
| Keep the tourists at bay |
| And it’s lonesome and peaceful |
| And you know I like it that way |
| Now, I work in the city |
| I think my job is a gas |
| And I know it’s good for me |
| To travel and get off my a** |
| But the nervous parts of each trip |
| Is the Golden Gate Bridge |
| And the road like a snake |
| That will lead me back home to my ridge |
| Ah, I live on a ridgetop |
| Yes, I live on a ridgetop |
| And I like it |
| And I like it. |
