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 that 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
