There's a 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
