But all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
To the people that you met
And your mother and your dad
With the barkers and the colored balloons
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
You're leaving there too soon
You're leaving there too soon
With the barkers and the colored balloons
Now you're underneath the stairs
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
With the barkers and the colored balloons
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
There's a girl just down the aisle
When you're finding' out it's real?
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
And it's your first cigarette
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
'Cause you want to be alone
As you read the hidden note
And you're giving' back some glares
You can hear the words she wrote
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
It's so noisy at the fair
Oh to turn and see her smile
You're leaving there too soon
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
You're leaving there too soon
Ain't it funny how you feel
Now you say you're leaving' home
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
