Mansion on the Hill

[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
