The carnival convoy just crossed the county line
Kids wavin' on the corner as the truck's rollin' by
They'll be settin' up the big top out in the field
Next to the bumper cars, pony rides and ferris wheelsOh, we been waitin' all year
I can't believe that it's finally hereIt's a big time in a small town
Everybody's comin' from miles around
When the sun comes up we'll be gettin' down
It's a big time in a small townWalkin' down the mid-way, weavin' through the crowd
Cotton candy, bumper cars, blue ribbon cows
Sheriff Johnson's daughter, she's givin' me the eye
I'm gonna ring the bell and win her a prizeA little later on, we'll slip off by ourselves
I can't imagine livin' anywhere elseIt's a big time in a small town
Everybody's comin' from miles around
When the sun comes up, we'll be gettin' down
It's a big time in a small townThey pulled up the tent pegs and pulled out of town
Leavin' nothin' but litter and dirt
Once a year, this old field of dreams
Is the greatest show on earthIt's a big time in a small town
It's a big time in a small town
It's a big time in a small town
