John Mellencamp - County Fair[00:00:02]
[00:00:08]
@ @[00:00:14]
Well the County Fair left quite a mess[00:00:20]
In the county yard[00:00:22]
Kids with eyes as big as dollars[00:00:25]
Rode all the rides[00:00:28]
Strip artists and con artists[00:00:30]
Put on quite a show[00:00:32]
And made some money then left town[00:00:35]
Where they went I don't know[00:00:37]
Hey all you suckers[00:00:48]
I heard a fat woman say[00:00:51]
Come on in for fifty cents[00:00:53]
You can stay in here all day[00:00:56]
So I took a chance I went inside[00:00:58]
Wasn't much there to see[00:01:01]
So I asked her for my money back[00:01:03]
And she just smiled at me[00:01:06]
Saw Princess Tonyika[00:01:11]
Taken off all her clothes[00:01:14]
Rode some rides and played some games[00:01:17]
Saw the Wild Man from Barneo[00:01:19]
There was a black man playing the blues[00:01:22]
Talked to some friends I hadn't seen in a while[00:01:27]
Through a football through a hoop[00:01:29]
Well I saw them loading up their trucks[00:01:35]
Taking down the rides[00:01:38]
Folding up all the tents[00:01:40]
There's a full moon in the sky[00:01:43]
Some were laughing some were cussing[00:01:45]
As they worked[00:01:48]
Saw one of them making love to a local girl[00:01:50]
I was minding my own business[00:01:58]
It was quarter after two[00:02:01]
When a fella walked up and said hey man[00:02:04]
I remember you[00:02:06]
And then he shoved me[00:02:09]
And pulled out his knife[00:02:11]
Stuck me three times in the chest[00:02:14]
And I died that night[00:02:16]
For the like of me[00:02:27]
I can't remember who he was[00:02:29]
And why he'd put a knife in me[00:02:32]
In the dusty parking lot[00:02:34]
Everybody said what a shame it was[00:02:37]
But he knew better than staying out[00:02:42]
Past twelve o'clock[00:02:44]
Some people put no value[00:02:55]
On a human life[00:02:58]
And there are places we all go[00:03:01]
That just ain't safe at night[00:03:03]
If somebody would do this to me[00:03:06]
They just might do it to you[00:03:08]
So be careful where you go[00:03:11]
And what you say or do[00:03:13]
Well the County Fair left quite a mess[00:03:23]
In the county yard[00:03:27]
