Words & Music by Rik Palieri

I'm remembering the days before I went away
Back in the Hills of old Vermont
And the orchard on the hill, I think I see it still
Way back in the hills of old Vermont

CHORUS:
For tonight I long to be where the Catamount run free
And the rattle snake can lie out in the sun
Near the voices of the loon, when the apple blossoms bloom
Way back in the hills of old Vermont.

There used to be a barn, near the old fishing pond
Way back in the hills of old Vermont.
More empty fields of hay are vanishing each day
Way back in the hills of old Vermont.

CHORUS

Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Way back in the hills of old Vermont.
Like the old brown panther's roar, you won't hear that no more
Way back in the hills of old Vermont.

CHORUS
