You're leaving there too soon
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
You're leaving there too soon
Now you say you're leaving' home
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
When you're finding' out it's real?
There's a girl just down the aisle
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
As you read the hidden note
With the barkers and the colored balloons
And the candy floss you had
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon

But all your friends are there
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
'Cause you want to be alone
Ain't it funny how you feel
And you're giving' back some glares
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You can hear the words she wrote
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
You're leaving there too soon
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
To the people that you met
With the barkers and the colored balloons
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You're leaving there too soon
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Now you're underneath the stairs
With the barkers and the colored balloons
And it's your first cigarette
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Oh to turn and see her smile
Songwriter: Neil Young
It's so noisy at the fair
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
You're leaving there too soon
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
And your mother and your dad
