Moe Bandy - Honky Tonk Merry-Go-Round lyrics

rate me

(Pat Bunch - Pearly Mitchell)

She stood there with tears in her beautiful eyes

Said the closest she'd be was around

And now she was leaving cause she couldn't fight

My honky tonk merry go round.

If it was a woman she'd know what to do

But she couldn't take being put down

By bottles and barrooms night after night

On my honky tonk merry go round.

Cause my paycheck still buys tickets that come in flip top cans

My silver dimes still strike up that old jukebox band

Where once rode a king now a sad lonely clown

Is ridin' a honky tonk merry go round.

--- Instrumental ---

So she left me and I thought well maybe that's good

I won't feel so guilty tonight

But somehow some where something went wrong

With my complete honky tonk life.

Cause my paycheck still buys tickets that come in flip top cans

My silver dimes still strike up that old jukebox band

Where once rode a king now a sad lonely clown

Is ridin' a honky tonk merry go round.

Is ridin' a honky tonk merry go round...
