Mansion on the Hill - Live

Lyrics

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
