Sugar Mountain

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.
 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.
 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.
 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 the hidden note.
 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.
 Now you're underneath the stairs
 And you're givin' back some glares
 To the people who you met
 And it's your first cigarette.
 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.
 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?
 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.
 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.
