Carousel Man |
I had a taste of bitter life |
At sweet sixteen |
I was growing up too fast |
If you know what I mean |
Met an older man |
Who taught me his own way to live |
And all I had to do to keep him |
Was to give and give |
The carousel man |
Kept me going around and round |
Carousel man always know |
That I’d stay around |
The carousel man |
Wouldn’t let me off his merry-go-round |
I followed him around in traveling shows |
Along the main county lines |
Watching him drinking his mind away |
Not ever knowing my name at time |
Each night when the show closed down |
He used to tell me of his dreams |
He was wearing new French suits |
While I mended my torn jeans |
The carousel man |
Kept me going around and round |
Carousel man always know |
That I’d stay around |
The carousel man |
Wouldn’t let me off his merry-go-round |
Then one night in Santa Fe |
The horses stop going around |
There he was my poor rich man |
Lying on the Mexico ground |
All the sad music of his life |
Is still spinning in my mind |
The carousel starts up again |
And I found my place in life |
The carousel man |
Kept me going around and round |
Carousel man always know |
That I’d stay around |
The carousel man |
Wouldn’t let me off his merry-go-round |
The carousel man |
Kept me going around and round |
Carousel man always know |
That I’d stay around |
The carousel man |
Wouldn’t let me off his merry-go-round |
