lyrics

I'd been building Rome all day, renaming good neighborhoods
I was just another banjo picking for a fight
Then you kicked my heartbreak out, wearing strawberries at night
Yes, I couldn’t stop climbing castle walls to be near

You swept me up and took to laying my fortunes in their rows
I got set my sights on the one nearest your hand

Packing my bags up tight
Leaving jetsam at the curb behind
Forward late-knowers the good news
I’m moving up to Sugar Hill
That’s right, I’m moving up to Sugar Hill

Now we’re measuring the moon, every corner to the inch
Got to make some space appear on these resistant shelves
Break the biscuit bank, hurray. Only big fancy will do
Yeah, we’re third coast elitists making our dreams out loud

You sweep me up and wash it down with gravy laying low
I got my eyes on the prize to put your hand

Packing my bags up tight
Leaving jetsam at the curb behind
Forward late-knowers the good news
I’m moving up to Sugar Hill
Packing my bags up tight
Leaving jetsam at the curb behind
Forward late-knowers the good news
I’m moving up to Sugar Hill

Packing my bags up tight
Leaving jetsam at the curb behind
Forward late-knowers the good news
I’m moving up to Sugar Hill
That’s right, I’m moving up to Sugar Hill
Ah yeah, I’m moving up to Sugar Hill
Come on, I’m moving up to Sugar Hill
