Lyrics
[Chorus] Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that You're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon [Verse 1] It's so noisy at the fair But all your friends are there And the candy floss you had And your mother and your dad [Chorus] Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that You're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon [Verse 2] There's a girl just down the aisle Oh, to turn and see her smile You can hear the words she wrote As you read a hidden note [Chorus] Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that You're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon [Verse 3] Now you're underneath the stairs And you're givin' back some glares To the people that you met And it's your first cigarette [Chorus] Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that You're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon [Verse 4] Now you say you're leavin' home 'Cause you want to be alone Ain't it funny how you feel When you're findin' out it's real? [Chorus] Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that You're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon [Chorus] Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that You're leaving there too soon
