Merry-Go-Round

I cried my tears in a glass of tequila For a truck-stop honey with a dubious name She held my heart like a blackjack dealer Took my money when I left the game She was overly fond of sophisticated messin' around I had a bellyful of livin' on the same old merry-go-round Well I played in the summer, I froze in the winter And I hankered for a high school beauty queen She was married to a rich young timber-miller Christened a boy when she was just nineteen Crazy love, never gonna settle down I had a bellyful of livin' on the same old merry-go-round Like any man I gotta work for a living Just to earn my soul for the weekend show Saturday morning I'll be down by the river Getting pissed at the Copmanhurst rodeo When the weekend comes I'm gonna set fire to the town I had a bellyful of livin' on the same old merry-go-round Take it away now - shh I'm gonna set fire to the town I'm gonna set fire to the town I'm gonna set fire to the town I'm gonna set fire to the town I'm gonna set fire to the town I'm gonna set fire to the town Well I'm looking out as the sun goes down Drinking Bundaburg at the end of the day Twenty-five and only half alive The rest is only just a ticket away Well give me a ticket, take me to a city hotel I had a bellyful of livin' on the same old merry-go-round I had a bellyful of livin' on the same old merry-go-round I had a bellyful of livin' on the same old merry-go-round Give it here baby, wooh A one two three four
