Sugar Hill

(album: Halos & Horns - 2002)

Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walking
Hand in hand while the south wind blowed
Bob whites calling, black crows cawking,
Counting the warts on a toad in the road
Down in the mill pond swimming naked
Showing more than we should have showed
We were just kids exploring nature
Learning more than we should have knowed

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cake and pie

A yellow dress draping off of my shoulder
Seeing myself in the looking glass
Older now and a little bit bolder
Thinking about our summers past
Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walking
Hand in hand up the mountainside
Teenage lovers planning and talking
Dreaming of a future for you and I

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountain top
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

Years have past, we're married with children
Our days are happy and our memories fond
We still find it quite appealing
To go to Sugar Hill and swim naked in the pond

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountaintop
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

Up on Sugar Hill there's a wealth of treasure
Down it's memory lane I go walking still
What it means to me is more than I can measure
Golden moments up on Sugar Hill

Up on Sugar Hill with the fireflies glowing
Sound of katydids and the whipperwill
Honeysuckle blooming and a mountain stream flowing
A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill

Up On Sugar Hill with the bobwhite's calling
Black crows cawking, and the soft wind blows
Up on Sugar Hill there are love birds talking
Up on Sugar Hill where the good times roll

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cakes and pies

A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill
