Merry-Go-Round

I cried my tears in a glass of tequila

For a truck stop honey with a dubious name

She held my heart like a blackjack dealer

And took my money when I left the game

She was overly fond of sophisticated messin' around

I've had a belly full of lovin' on the same ol' merry-go-round

Well, I played in the summer and I froze in the winter

I hankered for a high school beauty

She was married to a rich, young timber miller

And christiened the boy when she was just nineteen

Crazy love, never gonna settle down

I've had a belly full of lovin' on the same ol' merry-go-round

Like any man, I gotta work for a livin'

Just to earn my soul for the weekend show

Saturday mornin' I'll be down by the river

Gettin' whipped at the Copmanhurst rodeo

When the weekend comes I'm gonna set fire to the town

I had a belly full of lovin' on the same ol' merry-go-round

I'm gonna set fire to the town

I'm gonna set fire to the town

I'm gonna set fire to the town

I'm gonna set fire to the town

I'm gonna set fire to the town

I'm gonna set fire to the town

I'm lookin' out as the sun goes down

Drinkin' Brandenburg at the end of the day

I'm twenty five and only half alive

And the rest is only a ticket away

Well, gimme a ticket, take me to a city hotel

I've had a belly full of lovin' on the same ol' merry-go-round

I had a belly full of lovin' on the same ol' merry-go-round

I had a belly full of lovin' on the same ol' merry-go-round
