[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
