Waylon Jennings - Carnival Song Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Verse 1:
  • Now I've been quite the traveler
  • Ever since I hit the road
  • And the sullen county carnival
  • Has been my earn in gold
  • Verse 2:
  • I've been quite alone
  • Since I remember when
  • I turned my ultimatums
  • Into chips and cashed them in
  • Verse 3:
  • I used to run the Ferris wheel
  • But that'd be hard to prove
  • I can't stand to see a rolling wheel
  • Propped up so it can't move
  • Verse 4:
  • I used to run the carousel
  • Hell, that's just round and round
  • I never liked to see them ponies
  • Painted up and bolted down
  • Chorus:
  • The only thing that keeps me from stayin' here is leavin'
  • The only thing that saves me from it all is I'll be gone
  • Just when I could trust in all the things that I believe in
  • I had to pack it up and move along
  • And I'll tell you the boys I'm not the only one
  • Verse 5:
  • I was a straight man at the ring toss
  • But that was just a jaunt
  • I can't see throwin' rings around
  • Things you don't really want
  • Verse 6:
  • I could run the roller coaster
  • But that might break my heart
  • So much hard travelin'
  • Just to wind up where you start
  • Verse 7:
  • Now I just work the gateway
  • And I'm pretty satisfied
  • My little booth is red and blue
  • And I just sit inside
  • Verse 8:
  • I just take your money
  • And give tickets out in trade
  • Think about my life
  • And all the promises I made
  • Chorus:
  • The only thing that keeps me from stayin' here is leavin'
  • The only thing that saves me from it all is I'll be gone
  • Just when I could trust in all the things that I believe in
  • I had to pack it up and move along
  • And I'll tell you the boys I'm not the only one
  • Who's runnin' from the things he's left undone
