Fever dreaming and sleep deprived
How many times on this merry go round
over and over again?
Up on that horse was a weak foolish child
who never believed it would end
How many smokes till I’m satisfied?
How many drinks till 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 awhile
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 awhile
I was wrong, so wrong
wrong, so wrong
for awhile
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
