How many times on this merry-go-round
Over and over again
Up on the horse was a weak, foolish child
Who never believed it would end
How many smokes 'til I'm satisfied
How many drinks 'til I'm happy
How much of the day will I watch fade away
Until there is no one to ask me
I was gone, so gone
Gone, so gone
For a while
How many times will I sleep by your side
Turning and dreaming and scared
Of fair grounds that shut down as you ride away
And my horse won't go anywhere
I was gone, so gone
Gone, so gone
For a while
I was wrong, so wrong
Wrong, so wrong
For a while
How many songs will I try to write
All with the same thing to say
I've got two tickets left, won't you please stay with me
For the very last ride of the day
Over and over again
Up on the horse was a weak, foolish child
Who never believed it would end
How many smokes 'til I'm satisfied
How many drinks 'til I'm happy
How much of the day will I watch fade away
Until there is no one to ask me
I was gone, so gone
Gone, so gone
For a while
How many times will I sleep by your side
Turning and dreaming and scared
Of fair grounds that shut down as you ride away
And my horse won't go anywhere
I was gone, so gone
Gone, so gone
For a while
I was wrong, so wrong
Wrong, so wrong
For a while
How many songs will I try to write
All with the same thing to say
I've got two tickets left, won't you please stay with me
For the very last ride of the day
