Mansion on the Hill

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 can remember That mansion on the hill [Verse 2] In the day you can see the children playin' 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 And look up at the mansion on the hill [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] In the summer, all the lights would shine There'd be music playin', people laughing 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 Linden Town I watch the cars rushing by home from the mill There's a beautiful full moon risin' Above the mansion on the hill
