The Highest Point In Seven Counties

There's a live oak on the front lawn
It was planted long before I was thought about
And you should see the view at night
When the sun goes down
And upstairs is the master suite
See it was built just for me
And they say it's the highest point in seven counties Yes they say it's the highest point in seven counties
Where I grew up the ferns grow wild
But these I have to water every day
And for all my time they bear no fruit today
And the greenest grass I've known
It grows behind this fence of stone
And they say it's the highest point in seven counties Yes they say it's the highest point in seven counties
We sit down together
And over store-bought meals we bow our heads to pray But with each amen there's nothing left to say
They call it luxury but hey it sure seems strange to me And they say it's the highest point in seven counties Yes they say it's the highest point in seven counties
The debutant they come calling
And the well to do they stop by from time to time
I hear them whisper of the life I left behind
I put my pride before my heart
I stand tall and play the part
For they say it's the highest point in seven counties Yes they say it's the highest point in seven counties
Morning, it finds me restless
So I slip out to the balcony alone
And when he wakes
Will he notice that I'm gone?
Pushed up to the edge
You see I step out on the ledge
For they say it's the highest point in seven counties Yes they say it's the highest point in seven counties
