Lyrics and translation
Original
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, 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 park on a back road down along the highway side
And look up at that mansion on the hill
In the summer, and 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
Now tonight down here in the valley
I watch the cars blast by home from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon rising
Above the mansion on the hill
