I Want To Live In a Castle

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

Oh, I want to live in a castle
On a cliff above the sea
And spend my days greeting
All the Lords and the Ladies who come
Each day for tea.

I want to live in a castle
On Englands, greenest hill
And go visit 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
In a four bedroom house
With a mortgage so vast
It would bring any knight
To his knees.
