Lyrics Mansion on the Hill - Live at Madison Square Garden - Bruce Springsteen

There's a place out on the edge of town, sir
Rising above the factories and the fields
Ever since I was a child I can remember
Yeah, the mansion on 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, daddy'd take me and we'd ride
Through the streets of a town so silent and still
Park on a back road down by the highway side
Sit and look up at that mansion on the hill

In the summer, all the lights would shine
There'd be music playing, people laughing 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

Well, tonight, down here in Valley
I watch cars rushing by home from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon rising
Above the mansion on the hill
