Lyrics
Verse One:
She would meet in the morning with the softness of her smile
She'd make me toast and coffee and we'd talk awhile
We'd talk about tomorrow, all our future plans we made
A big house on Mansion Mountain and a love that would never fade
Verse Two:
It was just a two room walkup with a sofa for a bed
But it was all we really needed if we'd only known back then
Yes I can still remember sharing dreams of days ahead
A big house on Mansion Mountain and a love that would never end
Chorus:
But now I'm just an inmate in Mansion Mountain Prison
I'm a ward of my own ace of hearts and I'm playing solitaire
This big house on Mansion Mountain is now my lonely prison cell
and my one and only cellmate is her picture on the wall
Verse Three:
You know I never even noticed the hunger in her heart
and how my road from rags to riches was driving us apart
she left me in the morning and I didn't even see
How this big house on Mansion Mountain had taken her from me
REPEAT CHORUS
