Honky Tonk Merry-Go-Round

(Written by Frank Simon and Stan Gardner)



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

Wond'rin' if I'll ever be free.



Chorus:

'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.



I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round

Actin' like a foolish clown

Still racin' those blues that you left with me

Wond'rin' if I'll ever be free.

Still racin' those blues that you left with me

Wond'rin' if I'll ever be free.



Yes, I'm wonderin' if I'll ever be free...
