Mansion On The Hill

There's a place out on the edge of town sir Risin' above the factories and 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 a road that leads to those gates of hardened steel Steel gates that completely surround sir That 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 signs sir Look up at the 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 brother we'd lie down in the tall cornfields sir 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
