Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinkin’ that you’re leavin’ 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 thinkin’ that you’re leavin’ 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 thinkin’ that you’re leavin’ 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 thinkin’ that you’re leavin’ 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 finding out it’s real
