Mansion
on the Hill
There's
place out on the edge of town sir
Risin' above the factories and the fields
Now 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
Park on a back road along the highway side
Look up at that mansion on the hill
In
the summer 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
Tonight
down here in Linden Town I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon rising above the mansion on the hill

Provavelmente
o disco mais intimista do Boss. Sozinho, apenas acompanhado
de uma guitarra acústica e da harmónica, grava em
casa num gravador de 4 pistas, as canções do seu desencanto
relativamente à América.
Talvez seja esta a vingança relativamente ao rótulo
que lhe quiseram pôr: "o novo Dylan", em
1973, quando editou o primeiro álbum "Greetings
From Asbury Park, N.J.".
