Carnival Ride

Took a ride with a friend of mine That lasted thirteen years and sixty days Dropped me off at the side of the road With nothing in my suitcase And you're just a friend of mine Been out much longer if I can't help that Took a ride with a friend of mine That lasted fourteen years There was lots of fussin' and fightin' And laughter and some tears Now I'm comin' back to this town And it's gonna be where I live And you're just a friend of mine Been out much longer if I can't help that Took a ride with a nice guitar And drums were playin' and people came from afar See that little country band and say "Oh my, how them little country boys can play" But baby, You are the papers with all the listings of the movies In the park You are a friend of mine Been out much longer If I can't help that Annie on the corner and she didn't see me And I've dreamed a long time that she didn't see me And Annie on the corner and she's looking half crazed Annie on the corner I was looking amazed Annie on the corner and she didn't see me It had been a long time and she didn't see me Cause Annie it had been some time Since you were a friend of mine And Annie it had been some time Since you were a friend of mine Annie our love was a carnival ride But like Johnny said We've been too long at the fair And I watched and I watched and I watched you all the way And I knew that I had to walk the other way And I walked and I walked and I walked and I walked around And I walked until I found your movies I watched one Then the two Then the three Then the four Then the five Then the six Then the seven, till I figured it out That none of the stories were about me None of the stories were about me Annie our love was a carnival ride But like Johnny said, We've been too long at the fair
