Lucasville (Homestead On The Hill) ft. Ronald Dobbins Lyrics

Lucasville was the homestead of mine

Each morning steam simmering up the incline

That'd be my signal to grab my suitcase and cane

Boarding the magnificent Zig Zag train

A parting goodbye at the homestead on the hill

My dinner is waiting for me at Lucasville

After a long day I'm dying to get off my feet

She hands me a letter with tears rolling down her cheeks

"Dear Madam and or Sir" the letter began to say

"We require you to pack up and move away"

Demolition imminent at the homestead on the hill

Our lives were uprooted from our home at Lucasville

Lucasville, how I miss you and my Lucasville

We never wanted to leave, it was against our will

Lucasville, our perfect little Lucasville

Oh how I miss our dear old homestead on the hill

Today, decades older but still I remember clear

These memories forever fading is my greatest fear

The track is gone, barely any trace is left there

My wife, bless her, and I had great memories to share

Wish we had those times again at the homestead on the hill

Wish my wife and I could still have our Lucasville

The station is overgrown, with not even the station chair

It's hard to believe our old home is now nowhere

By the next summer the cancer had spread

Here I lie alone in my hospital bed

Take me back to Lapstone to our homestead on the hill

With my late wife and our dear, dear Lucasville

Lucasville, how I miss you and my Lucasville

We never wanted to leave, it was against our will

Lucasville, our perfect little Lucasville

Oh how I miss our dear old homestead on the hill

Today I lie dying in my hospital bed

Recalling all the times we had and said

Just like the station, nature's edging me away

My life is like an evening's last moment sunray

I'm drifting away to the homestead on the hill

Far way to days long gone at Lucasville

Lucasville, how I miss you and my Lucasville

We never wanted to leave, it was against our will

Lucasville, our perfect little Lucasville

Oh how I miss our dear old homestead on the hill

Yeah, here we go again!
