Lyrics Over the Next Hill (We'll Be Home) - Johnny Cash

By the way the land is layin′
I think I'd be safe in sayin′
That over the next hill we'll be home
It's a straight and narrow highway
No detours and no byways
And over the next hill we′ll be home
By -the prophets I′ve been hearin'
I would say the end is nearin′
For I see familiar landmarks all along
By the dreams that I've been dreamin′
There will come a great redeemin'
And over the next hill we′ll be home
By the turn the tide is takin'
I would say there's no mistakin′
That over the next hill we′ll be home
There's a place that we are nearin′
That so many have been fearin'
And over the next hill we′ll be home
When we get there we're all hopin′
That we'll find the gate is open
And there'll be a refuge from the comin′ storm
For the way′s been long and weary
But at last the end is nearin'
And over the next hill we′ll be home
