Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska

Mansion On the Hill

There's a place out on the edge of town sir
Risin' above the factories and the fields
And ever since I was a child, I can remember
That mansion on the 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 it
The mansion on the hill

At night, my daddy'd take me, and we'd ride
Through the streets of a town so silent and still
Park on a back road along the highway side
Look up at that mansion on the hill

In the summer, all the lights would shine
There'd be music playin', people laughin' 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

Tonight down here in Linden Town
I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon risin'
Above the mansion on the hill
