Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You cant be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You're leaving there too soon
[Verse 8]
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 its real?
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
