Mansion On The Hill (Nebraska Live)

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 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, sir
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
We'd park on a back road down on the highway side
And 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 cornfields
And sit and listen to the mansion on the hill

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