Mansion On The Hill

There’s place out on the edge of town sir

Risin’ above the factories and the fields

Now ever since I was a child I can remember that mansion on the hill

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

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

Look up at that mansion on the hill

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 corn fields

Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill

Tonight down here in Linden Town I watch the cars rushin’ by home from the mill

There’s a beautiful full moon rising above the mansion on the hill
