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, 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 thinking that you're leaving there too soon;
you're leaving there too soon.
Now you're underneath the stairs,
and you're giving 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 leaving home,
'cause you want to be alone.
Ain't it funny how you feel,
when you're finding out it's 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
