Mansion On The Hill Lyrics - At The Ryman - Emmylou Harris

There's a place out on the edge of town sir 

Risin' above the factories and fields 

Now ever since I was a child I can remember 

That mansion on the hill 

In the day you can see the children playing 

On a road that leads to those gates of hardened steel 

Steel gates that completely surround sir 

That 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 signs sir 

Look up at the 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 brother we'd lie down in the tall cornfields sir 

Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill

I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill 

There's a beautiful full moon rising 

Above the mansion on the hill
