How many times on this merry-go-round
Over and over again
Up on that horse was a weak foolish child
Never believed it would endHow many smokes till I'm satisfied
How many dreams till I'm happy
How much of the day will I watch fade away
Till there is no one to ask meI was gone, so gone
Gone, so gone for a whileHow many times will I sleep by your side
Turning and dreaming and scared
Of fair grounds that shut down
As you ride away, my horse won't go anywhereI was gone, so gone
Gone, so gone for a whileI was wrong, so wrong
Wrong, so wrong for a whileHow many songs will I try to write
All have the same thing to say
I've got two tickets left, won't you please stay with me
For the very last ride of the day?
