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.
