lyrics

You got no quarter for the carousel
so you hang around and listen to the barkers yell
and all the boys with whiskey going straight to hell
change jinglin' in their pockets like the ringing of a bell
But you blink your eyes just one at a time
'cause you got no business on the wild side
you can't beat the joker with a pair of nines
anyone that tells you different
just feedin' you lines

It's the fire I've been breathing
gonna be the death of me
you can lead me to the water, tell mama that her daughter's been saved
but if I fall just let me be

I've got a little fire, Lord I feel it burn
burnin' for the pretty little way things were
can't help but fall in love with all the stories I've heard
when the truth was in the telling, all you needed was the words
So you wander on down the road a-ways
to try and remember what the preacher said
to the skinny little girl with the pig tailed braids
said it so sweet, she swore she'd take it to her grave

Chorus
