Down At The County Fair

from I'll Meet You There by Nicole Kottke

lyrics

Eighty-five degrees and it’s sunny
Walkin’ down the midway with a pocket full of money
They got all you can eat and it’s soakin’ in grease
All my good friends are down here
And everybody here’s drinkin’ beer

They got live music and livestock
I got tight jeans and a top and I’m ready to rock
I’ll take a spinning whirl on the tilt-a-hurl
Takin’ pictures from the old carousel
Of Robert who’s just here to raise hell

Rodeos and big time shows and the lights on all of the rides
Something wild is in the air when you’re there
Down at the county fair

We’re spending money like we don’t care
Blow twenty-bucks on a five-dollar bear
They got carney smiles and lines for miles
Holding hands while we’re standing in line
And screamin’ like a fool on the ride

Rodeos and big time shows and the lights shining down on the stage
No one wants to act their age, they don’t care
Down at the county fair

Seeing friends you ain’t seen in years
It’s a first kiss and a heart break and tears

Rodeos and big time shows and the lights on all of the rides
Something wild is in the air when you’re there
Down at the county fair
