Merle Haggard lyrics : "A Cabin In The Hills"

I dreamed I saw Jesus last night
seated on a mountain in the moonlight
His hands held a key to a cabin

that cabin I'd dreamed of all my life.

Money makes the rules we have to live by

A home is just a place they send the bills
God knows why we work and what we pray for
So He's building me a cabin in the hills.


Who knows He might be finished in the morning
So I lie awake and take no sleeping pills

God knows I'm not happy in a mansion
So He's building me a cabin in the hills.


I live my lonesome life down in a valley
With the factories, the rivers, and the mills
Sometimes I can almost hear his hammer

'Cause he's building me a cabin in the hills.

Someone has to keep the home fire burning

So I sweat and get the harvest in the field.

Life on earth won't be the same hereafter

So he's building me a cabin in the hills.
I live my lonesome life down in a valley
With the factories, the rivers and the mills.


Sometimes I can almost hear His hammer
'cause He's building me a cabin in the hills.

He's building me a cabin in the hills.
