Mansion on the Hill Full Lyrics

[00:33.58] There's a place out on the edge of town sir [00:40.84] Risin' above the factories and the fields [00:48.22] Ever since I was a child I can remember [00:56.14] The mansion on the hill [01:03.60] In the day you can see the children playing [01:10.09] On the road that leads to the gates of hardened steel [01:18.07] Steel gates that completely surround the mansion on the hill [01:33.42] At night my daddy'd take me and we'd ride [01:40.34] Through the streets of a town so silent and still [01:47.62] Park on a back road along the highway side [01:54.72] Look up at that mansion on the hill [02:03.65] [02:25.29] In the summer all the lights would shine [02:32.01] There'd be music playin' people laughin' all the time [02:40.03] Me and my sister we'd hide out in the tall corn fields [02:47.58] Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill [02:55.56] Tonight down here in Linden Town [03:02.92] I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill [03:10.42] There's a beautiful full moon rising [03:17.69] Above the mansion on the hill [03:26.39]
