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, 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 it feels

When you’re findin’ out it 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
