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
|
