Carny Song (Live at Cart Studios) (Live)

The sun is bathed in twilight tonight down at the County Fair

And I'll stay a while if you promise to meet me there

'Cause I'm rollin' up this death trap and ramblin' on to another town

But you're the one thing that might make me stick around

I hold on

To my dreams as they're turning to dust

Like my livelihood is covered in rust

I ain't letting go

I roll on

Another summer night up in smoke

It's all first rites and dirty jokes

That's what I know

This trailer ain't nothing special for six years it's been my home

And lemme ask you: have you ever rode the Ferris Wheel all alone?

See the land before you swim in a sea of sprawling pines

My door's wide open stud just step inside

And hold on

To our dreams as they're turning to dust

Like my livelihoods covered in rust

I ain't letting go

We'll roll on

Another summer goes up in smoke

It's all first rites and dirty jokes

That's what I know

And everything it changes but some things stay the same

Rituals and rites of life that time will never claim

The smell of fresh popped popcorn games that you just can't win

I got a lifetime of it in me if you're ready to begin

But I see it in your eyes before I hear it on your tongue

I'm out here looking for salvation and you're just looking for an easy fuck

So I'm rolling up this death trap and gettin' the hell out of this town

Ain't nothing here worth keep me stickin' around
