Hill Country Heartbreak

Verse 1]
Katie and Jimmy, young hearts in bloom,
Hill country sunsets, their love was the tune.
Seventeen summers, they ran from the chains,
To Mexico's border, in love’s sweet refrain.
[Verse 2]
Jimmy wore camo, left home for the fight,
Katie stayed waiting through long lonely nights.
But love held them steady, through distance and pain,
Till life gave them joy, and then took it away.
[Chorus]
Oh, the hill country cries for the dreams that are gone,
For a love that still lingers though the days march on.
A little wild child, with a laugh like a song,
Gone too soon, but their hearts must stay strong.
[Verse 3]
Fourteen short years, she danced in the breeze,
A spark in the shadows, a soul set to tease.
But the river runs cruel, and the years steal the sun,
Now they cling to each other, two hearts turned to one.
[Verse 4]
Katie walks barefoot where the wildflowers grow,
Jimmy’s eyes shadowed with the weight of what they know.
The stars in the Texas sky whisper her name,
A memory eternal, a torch in the flame.
[Chorus]
Oh, the hill country cries for the dreams that are gone,
For a love that still lingers though the days march on.
A little wild child, with a laugh like a song,
Gone too soon, but their hearts must stay strong.
