Mansion on the Hill Lyrics – Bruce Springsteen

Mansion on the Hill Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There’s a place out on the edge of town, sir
Rising above the factories and the fields
Now, ever since I was a child, I remember
That mansion on the hill

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
At night, my daddy’d take me and we’d ride
Through the streets of a town so silent and still
We’d park on a back road down on the highway side
And look up at that mansion on the hill

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4]
In thе summer, now all the lights would shine
Thеre’d be music playin’, people laughin’ all the time
Me and my sister, we’d hide out in the tall cornfields
And sit and listen to the mansion on the hill

[Verse 5]
Now tonight, down here in the valley
I watch the cars pass by, home from the mill
There’s a beautiful full moon rising
Above the mansion on the hill
