Roger Miller - The Tom Green County Fair lyrics

rate me

You know, it's funny how certain things stick with

you through the years, like how it feels to be 10 years

old at the county fair

Hot dog stand, when you're hungry, hot dogs smell so doggone grand

Hopping through the sawdust,

running with my brothers, head to toe we're smiling

at the Tom Green County Fair

Rodeo, Tom Green County Fair's got one fine rodeo

The cowboys are the greatest, the clown he is so funny

You bust your britches laughing at the Tom Green County Fair

Well, a Sunday at the fair can make a memory more valuable than gold

Especially when you're 10 years old

Ferris Wheel, just like an airplane in the sky that's how you feel

Look down and see the people, wave your arms and holler

Everybody's grinning at the Tom Green County Fair

Nighttime comes, up there on the bandstand we see Billy Swan

Everybody's clapping, Mom and Pop are dancing

Sawdust is flying at the Tom Green County Fair

Well, a Sunday at the fair can make a memory more valuable than gold

Especially when you're 10 years old

Time to go

The pickup truck, it rattles down the gravel road

And all of us kids sit backwards,

looking through the dust cloud at the lights and the

laughter, at the Tom Green County Fair
