Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a place out on the edge of town, sir Rising above the factories and the fields Now, ever since I was a child, I remember That 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 We'd park on a back road down on the highway side And look up at that mansion on the hill [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 4] In thе summer, now all the lights would shine Thеre'd be music playin', people laughin' all the time Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall cornfields And sit and listen to the mansion on the hill [Verse 5] Now tonight, down here in the valley I watch the cars pass by, home from the mill There's a beautiful full moon rising Above the mansion on the hill
