Sugar Mountain

"Sugar Mountain"

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, to 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 you feel
When you're findin' out it's 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.

Yeah you are right. This is a demo so probably put that part in when he wanted a cigarette and someone gave him a mean look lol

I like where he mentions the Barkers. As in, Bob Barker's family. :)

[NepheshAngel]

lol, barkers are people who hangs outside establishment to bring people in. We had so many in St. Thomas VI where I once lived but it got to be too much everything screaming to come into their restaurants and bars lol

sings it way fast here i feel

[NepheshAngel]

Yes it is a little different : )

I do like Neil Young, but I don't think he's AMAZING. I like about ten of his songs a whole lot. Maybe I'm crazy for saying this, but I never liked the album Harvest much. I much prefer Everybody Knows This is Nowhere and After The Gold Rush.

[NepheshAngel]

I have so many of his albums, cds he came out with but my all time fave is "Decades".

i agree and one thing more is the instrument used wasn't a guitar but a yukulele, but the spirit of the song still there.
