County Fair

(album: Western Underground - 1991)

Been working like a dog, slaving on the fence line,
Stretching those wires tight.
Digging and tapping and sweating in the sunshine,
But I get off t'night.

I got a date with a girl, a perdy ranchers daughter,
Green eyes and golden hair.
Gonna pick her up at 8 after some soap and water.
And we're heading to the county fair.

Well there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothing I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.

Well, we walked through the midway, the lights and the laughter,
She puts her little hand in mine.
Well, she don't act like she knows what I'm after,
But t'night I'm gonna make her mine.

You know the tunnel of love, well it ain't my style.
So I take her on the ferris wheel.
Way up in the sky, with the stars in her eyes,
I'm gonna tell her just how I feel.

Well, there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothing I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.

Well I know Monday morning, I'll be back on the fence-line,
But it'll be alright.
'Cause that perdy little girl says she's gonna be all mine.
I'll see her next Friday night.

Well there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothing I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.
Ain't nothing I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.
