I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round,
Makin' ever spot in town,
Startin' out early, comin' home late,
Ever night with a brand-new date!
I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round,
Actin' like a foolish clown,
Still racin' those blues that you left with me,
Wonderin' if I'll ever be free.
Round and around and around I go,
Ridin' high and feelin' low,
Round and around just like a top,
Well, I'm a-gettin' dizzy, but I can't stop!
