Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You canât be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though youâre thinking that
Youâre leaving there too soon,
Youâre leaving there too soon
Itâs 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 canât be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though youâre thinking that
Youâre leaving there too soon,
Youâre leaving there too soon
Thereâs a girl just down the aisle,
Oh, 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 canât be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though youâre thinking that
Youâre leaving there too soon,
Youâre leaving there too soon
Now youâre underneath the stairs
And youâre givinâ back some glares
To the people who you met
And Itâs your first cigarette
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You canât be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though youâre thinking that
Youâre leaving there too soon,
Youâre leaving there too soon
Now you say youâre leavinâ home
âCause you want to be alone
Ainât it funny how it feels
When youâre findinâ out it real?
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You canât be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though youâre thinking that
Youâre leaving there too soon,
Youâre leaving there too soon
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You canât be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though youâre thinking that
Youâre leaving there too soon,
Youâre leaving there too soon
