Over The Hill Lyrics
I'm going away to leave you,
Going to leave you in disgrace.
Nothing in my favour,
Got the wind in my face.
I'm going home;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Can't get enough of sweet cocain,
Get enough of Mary Jane.
Going back to where I came from,
Going to roll 'em back home again,
Over the hill,
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
I've been worried about my babies,
Been worried about my wife.
There's just one place for a man to be
When he's worried about his life.
I'm going home,
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Well I'm going away to leave you,
Going to leave you in disgrace.
I got nothing in my favour;
The rain in my face.
I'm going home,
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill,
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Going to leave you in disgrace.
Nothing in my favour,
Got the wind in my face.
I'm going home;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Get enough of Mary Jane.
Going back to where I came from,
Going to roll 'em back home again,
Over the hill,
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Been worried about my wife.
There's just one place for a man to be
When he's worried about his life.
I'm going home,
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Going to leave you in disgrace.
I got nothing in my favour;
The rain in my face.
I'm going home,
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.
Over the hill;
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill.

It's in the tradition of travelling folks songs It's also, obviously, about kicking drugs, and getting one's priorities right back to the wife and kids.
The tension between the carousing, rebel-rousing travelling man and the stability and responsibilities of home.
I can't believe nobody's commented on this. It's a classic. I think it's just about leaving somewhere and proving all the people you left behind wrong.
