John Mellencamp Life Death Love And Freedom County Fair Well the County Fair left quite a mess In the county yard Kids with eyes as big as dollars Rode all the rides Strip artists and con artists Put on quite a show And made some money Then left town Where they went I don't know Hey all you suckers I heard a fat woman say Come on in for fifty cents You can stay in here all day So I took a chance I went inside Wasn't much there to see So I asked her for my money back And she just smiled at me Saw Princess Tonyika taken off all her clothes Rode some rides and played some games Saw the Wild Man from Barneo There was a black man playing the blues Talked to some friends I hadn't seen in a while Through a football through a hoop Well I saw them loading up their trucks Taking down the rides Folding up all the tents There's a full moon in the sky Some were laughing some were cussing As they worked Saw one of them making love To a local girl I was minding my own business It was quarter after two When a fella walked up and said Hey man I remember you And then he shoved me And pulled out his knife Stuck me three times in the chest And I died that night For the like of me I can't remember Who he was And why he'd put a knife in me In the dusty parking lot Everybody said What a shame it was But he knew better than staying out Past twelve o'clock Some people put no value On a human life And there are places we all go That just ain't safe at night If somebody would do this to me They just might do it to you So be careful where you go And what you say or do Well the County Fair left quite a mess In the county yard |
