I met you on a midway at a fair last year |
| [00:19.25] |
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear |
| [00:30.00] |
You were playing on the horses, you were playing on the guitar strings |
| [00:38.48] |
You were playing like a devil wearing wings, wearing wings |
| [00:49.32] |
You looked so grand wearing wings |
| [00:56.02] |
Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing |
| [01:05.96] |
Can you fly |
| [01:08.80] |
I heard you can! Can you fly |
| [01:16.20] |
Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky |
| [01:24.75] |
|
| [01:29.74] |
I followed with the sideshows to another town |
| [01:38.99] |
And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds |
| [01:50.08] |
You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice |
| [01:58.76] |
And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice, once or twice |
| [02:09.50] |
|
| [02:10.21] |
I heard your bid once or twice |
| [02:18.35] |
Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price |
| [02:25.43] |
Pack it in |
| [02:28.67] |
I heard you did! Pack it in |
| [02:36.78] |
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win |
| [02:43.16] |
|
| [02:50.14] |
So lately you've been hiding - it was somewhere in the news |
| [02:59.23] |
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues |
| [03:11.25] |
And a voice calls out the numbers, and it sometimes mentions mine |
| [03:19.65] |
And I feel like I've been working overtime, overtime |
| [03:27.80] |
|
| [03:30.39] |
I've lost my fire overtime |
| [03:39.46] |
Always playin' one more hand for one more dime |
| [03:47.44] |
Slowin' down I'm gettin' tired! |
| [03:50.98] |
Slowin' down |
| [03:57.69] |
And I envy you the valley that you've found |
| [04:05.78] |
'Cause I'm midway down the midway |
| [04:14.08] |
Slowin' down, down, down, down |
