That Song About the Midway |
Well I met you on a midway at a fair last year\nAnd you stood out like a ruby in a black man’s ear\nYou were playing on the horses\nYou were playing on the guitar strings\nYou were playing like the devil wearing wings\nWearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wings\nDo you tie them to your shoulders just to sing\nCan you fly? I heard you can! Can you fly?\nJust like an eagle doin' his hunting from the sky\nI followed through a sideshow to another town\nAnd I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds\nYou were betting on some lover, shootin' out the dice\nAnd I thought I saw you cheating once or twice\nOnce or twice, I heard you did, once or twice\nWere you wondering was the gamble worth the price\nNow you’ve packed it in, I heard you did, packed it in Was it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win?\nLately you’ve been hiding, it was somewhere in the news\nAnd I’m still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues\nThe man calls out the numbers, he sometimes mentions mine\nBut I feel like I’ve been working overtime\nOvertime, I’ve lost my fire, overtime\nAlways playing one more hand for one more dime\nWell I’m slowin' down, I’m getting tired, slowin' down\nAnd I envy you the valley that you’ve found\n'Cause I’m midway down the midway\nSlowin' down, down |
