(First Verse):
Tonight painted horses gallop down the highways
To arrive at what now mama... Who’s to say
Stone cold cities, not much on Pity
The bump and grind, you know, can drive the average boy insane
(Coda):
To-nights abduction
The bright lights, seduction
The white lines on those highways
Takes us further away each day
As the carnival lights fade away
It’s just a country mile away
(Chorus 1):
As we live our lifes in stages
Playing a part in a world unknown
So let it roll on the minimum wager, girl
Spin the wheel and watch the world roll
Spin the wheel and watch the world roll
Spin the wheel and watch the world roll
(Second Verse):
And have you seen the one inch lady
Whose arms are longer than mine?
If you see her, you tell her to call me here
At the carnival of time
You’ll be the first one in line
At the carnival of time
(Repeat Chorus, Coda and Chorus):
As the carnival lights fade away
It’s just a country mile away
As the carnival lights fade away
It’s just a country mile away
It’s just a country mile away
