I’m on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Makin’ ever spot in town
Startin’ out early, comin’ home late
Ever’ night with a brand new date
I’m on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Actin’ like a foolish clown
Still racin’ those blues that you left with me
Wond’rin’ if i’ll ever be free
Chorus:
Round and around and around i go
Ridin’ high and feelin’ low
Round and around just like a top
Well, i’m a-gettin’ dizzy, but i can’t stop
I’m on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Actin’ like a foolish clown
Still racin’ those blues that you left with me
Wond’rin’ if i’ll ever be free
Repeat chorus
Repeat last verse
Yes, i’m wonderin if i’ll ever be free
