Bonnie Raitt - That Song About The Midway Lyrics
I met you on a midaway at a fair last yearAnd you stood out like a ruby in a black mans earYou were playing on the horsesYou were playing on the guitar stringsYou were playing like the devil wearing wingsWearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wingsDo you tie them to your shoulders just to singCan you fly? I hear you can! can you fly?Just like an eagle doin his hunting from the skyI followed through a sideshow to another townAnd I found you in a trailer on the camping groundsYou were betting on some lover, shootin out the diceAnd I thought I saw you cheating once or twiceOnce or twice, I heard ya did, once or twiceWere you wondering was the gamble worth the priceNow youve packed it in, I heard you did, packed it inWas it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win?Lately youve been hiding, it was somewhere in the newsAnd Im still at these races with my ticket stubs and my bluesThe man calls out the numbers...he sometimes mentions mineBut I feel like Ive been working overtimeOvertime, Ive lost my fire, overtimeAnd I envy you the valley that youve foundcause Im midway down the midwaySlowin down
