Kacey Musgraves - Merry Go round lyrics

rate me

If you ain't got two kids by 21,

you're probably gonna die alone

at least that's what tradition told you.

And it don't matter if you don't believe,

come sunday morning you best be there

in the front row, like you're s'posed to.

Same hurt in every heart.

Same trailer, different park.

Chorus

Mama's hooked on Mary Kay

Brother's hooked on Mary Jane

And Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.

Mary Mary quite contrary,

we get bored so we get married

and just like dust we settle in this town.

On this broken Merry go 'round and round and round we go, where it stops nobody knows.....

and it ain't slowin down, this merry go round...

We think the first times good enough,

So we hold on to highschool love,

Say we won't end up like our parents.

Tiny little boxes in a row, ain't what you want its what you know,

Just happy in the shoes you're wearin.

Same checks we're always cashin,

to buy a little more distraction.

Chorus

Cause Mama's hooked on Mary Kay

Brother's hooked on Mary Jane

Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.

Mary Mary quite contrary,

we get bored so we get married

and just like dust we settle in this town.

On this broken Merry go 'round and round and round we go, where it stops nobody knows.....

and it ain't slowin down, this merry go round...

Mary Mary quite contrary, we're so bored until we're buried.

and just like dust we settle in this town......

on this broken merry go round.........

merry go round.........

Jack and Jill went up the hill,

Jack burned out on booze and pills,

and Mary had a little lamb,

Mary just don't give a damn any more.....
