Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a place out on the edge of town, sir Risin' above the factories and the fields Ever since I was a child, I can remember The mansion on the hill [Verse 2] In the day, you can see the children playing On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel Steel gates that completely surround, sir The mansion on the hill [Verse 3] At night, my daddy'd take me and we'd ride Through the streets of a town so silent and still Park on a back road along the highway side Sit and look up at a mansion on the hill [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 4] In the summer, all the lights would shine There'd be music playin', people laughin' all the time Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall cornfields Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill [Verse 5] Tonight, down here in the valley I watch cars rushing by, home from the mill There's a beautiful full moon rising Above the mansion on the hill
