That Song About The Midway - Bonnie Raitt[00:00:01]
When I met you on a midaway at a fair last year[00:00:11]
And you stood out like a ruby[00:00:21]
In a black man's ear[00:00:26]
You were playing on the horses[00:00:31]
You were playing on the guitar strings[00:00:35]
You were playing like the devil wearing wings[00:00:41]
Wearing wings [00:00:48]
You looked so grand wearing wings[00:00:50]
Do you tie them to your shoulders just to sing[00:00:58]
Can you fly I hear you can [00:01:06]
Can you fly [00:01:10]
Just like an eagle doin' his hunting from the sky[00:01:16]
I followed through a sideshow to another town[00:01:33]
And I found you in a trailer[00:01:41]
On the camping grounds[00:01:46]
You were betting on some lover [00:01:51]
Shootin' out the dice[00:01:56]
And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice[00:02:01]
Once or twice I heard ya did [00:02:09]
Once or twice[00:02:13]
Were you wondering was the gamble[00:02:19]
Worth the price[00:02:22]
Now you've packed it in [00:02:26]
I heard you did packed it in[00:02:28]
Was it hard to fold a hand[00:02:36]
You knew you could win [00:02:40]
Lately you've been hiding [00:02:53]
It was somewhere in the news[00:02:56]
And I'm still at these races[00:03:03]
With my ticket stubs and my blues[00:03:06]
The man calls out the numbers [00:03:12]
He sometimes mentions mine[00:03:16]
But I feel like I've been working overtime[00:03:21]
Overtime I've lost my fire overtime[00:03:29]
Always playing one more hand for one more dime[00:03:38]
Well I'm slowin' down [00:03:45]
I'm getting tired slowin' down[00:03:48]
And I envy you the valley that you've found[00:03:56]
Cause I'm midway down the midway[00:04:06]
Slowin' down down[00:04:17]
