County Fair

(album: Boy From Michigan - 2021)

On a warm June summer night
A car pulls up and Cindy's sitting on the passenger side
Her hair was dirty and she had the prettiest eyes
And she was in possession of one of those million dollar smiles

And I can hear the leaves lush and green up in the trees
And they are whispering to a gentle breeze
Cindy says "Come on we're going to the county fair
You can ride with us, or we can meet you there"

We'll ride the Zipper and the Tilt-A-Whirl
We'll watch the cotton candy twist and swirl
We'll ride the Matterhorn and the double Ferris-Wheel
We love to listen to the screams and the squeals
And it's hard to believe that the things we are seeing are real

Cindy takes my hand and I start to cry
They say I'm too small and they won't let me ride
I looked up at the Zipper as it twisted and writhed
I saw all the lights reflected in their eyes
I will never forget the things I saw that night
I felt so much love and everything was alright
And she said, "Come on we're going to the county fair
You can ride with us or we can meet you there"

We'll ride the Zipper and the Tilt-A-Whirl
We'll watch the cotton candy twist and swirl
We'll ride the Matterhorn and the double Ferris-Wheel
We love to listen to the screams and the squeals
And it's hard to believe that the things we are seeing are real

We'll ride the Zipper and the Tilt-A-Whirl
We'll watch the cotton candy twist and swirl
We'll ride the Matterhorn and the double Ferris-Wheel
We love to listen to the screams and the squeals
And it's hard to believe that the things we are seeing are real
