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 giving' back some glares

To the people that 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 leaving' home

'Cause you want to be alone

Ain't it funny how you feel

When you're finding' 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
