joel plaskett - the song about the midway lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well, i met you at a midway
at a fair last year
and you stood out like a ruby
in a black man’s ear

[pre+chorus 1]
you were playing on the horses
you were playing on the guitar strings
you were playing like a devil
wearing wings

[chorus 1]
wearing wings, you looked so grand
wearing wings
do you tape them to your shoulders
just to sing?

can you fly? i hear you can
can you fly
like an eagle
doing your hunting from the sky?

[verse 2]
travel with the sideshows
to another town
and i find you in a trailer
on the camping ground

[pre+chorus]
you were betting on some lover
you were shaking up the dust
and i thought i saw you cheat
once or twice

[chorus 2]
once or twice, i heard you been
once or twice
were you wondering was the gamble
worth the price?

pack it in, i hear you did
pack it in
was it hard to fold a hand
you knew could win?

[verse 3]
so lately you been hiding
it was somewhere in the news
and i’m still at these races
with these ticket stubs and my blues

[pre+chorus 3]
and a voice calls out the numbers
and it sometimes mentions mine
and i feel like i’ve been working
overtime

[chorus 3]
over time, i’ve lost my fire
over time
oh, let’s play one more hand
for one more dime

slowing down and getting tired
slowing down
then i hand to you the value
that you found

[outro]
’cause that midway
down the midway
slowin’ down, down
down, down
