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 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 givin’ back some glares To the people who 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 leavin’ home ’Cause you want to be alone Ain’t it funny how it feels When you’re findin’ out it 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   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
