I Want To Live In a Castle

I want to live in a castle
Where only the strong survive
With turrets and towers
And joust by the hour
And a six foot mote outside.

I want to live in a castle
On a cliff beside the sea
And spend my days with
The Lords and Ladies who
Come calling each day for tea.

I want to live in a castle 
On England's greenest hill
And join each day
All the people at play
And learn all their finest skills.

But I'll never live in a castle
It's Tennessee hills for me
With a four bedroom house
And a mortgage so vast
It would bring any knight 
To his knees.
