Roadside Carnival

A Ferris wheel lit up against the dark. A tired carnival in a gravel park. We pull in just to stretch our legs a While, and for a minute, both of us can Smile. Roadside carnival, spinning lights. A little detour on our longest nights. We don't belong here, but we'll stay a while. Roadside carnival, Borrowed smile. The barker calls us over with a grin. Says, "Step right up and let the good times In." We lose a dollar on a rigged balloon. And laugh about it underneath the moon. Roadside carnival, spinning lights. A little detour on our longest nights. We don't belong here, but we'll stay a while. Roadside carnival, Borrowed smile. Step right up. Win me something cheap. I try my luck, though the odds are steep. For one bright hour, we forget the miles. Roadside carnival, Roadside smiles. Roadside Carnival, spinning lights. A little detour on our longest nights. We don't belong here, but we'll stay a while. Roadside carnival, Borrowed smile.
