Over the Hill
 

 Written & Sung: J. Stewart; Backup Vocal: L. Buckingham
 

 Second wind
I'm slipping down the back road once again
And I'm on the run
Slipping down the back road in the sun
And I'm taking flight
Oh, I'm slipping down the back road in the night
And I'm running still
Slipping down and over the hill

For so long
Oh, I've been out there looking for a song
And it's just insane
It's like trying to run and chase a moving train
And you understand
Oh, aren't you trying to find the promised land?
And you will
Slipping down and over the hill

Well, it's over the hill
Over the hill
Oh, well, I guess I will
Slipping down and over the hill

 Second wind
I'm slipping down the back road once again
And I'm on the run
Slipping down the back road in the sun
And I'm taking flight
Oh, I'm slipping down the back road in the night
And I'm running still
Slipping down and over the hill

Oh, it's over the hill
Over the hill
Over the hill
Over the hill

 

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

This song is pretty good-humored in that John Stewart can laugh about being considered "Over the Hill." The joke was on the people who had written him off, however, since this album spawned his biggest solo hit ever - Gold!
