Sunset Carousel

You came south from Chicago

In your brand new cut off jeans

You said, "Piña colada"

And I said, "This one's on me"

I watched you sway to the music

You stayed close enough to see

You gave me your number

Said, "I'm staying right down the beach"

We'd go down to the water

And drink straight from the bottle

The waves rolled in when we were just setting sail

We rode around all summer

We knew the end was coming

At least we'd have a hell of a story to tell

From that sunset carousel

We took off like the sunrise

Just watched those ponies spin

That first time in July

And over and over and over again

We'd go down to the water

And drink straight from the bottle

The waves rolled in when we were just setting sail

We rode around all summer

We knew the end was coming

At least we'd have a hell of a story to tell

From that sunset carousel

From that sunset carousel

Like a souvenir sticker, the colors fade

But we held on like they wouldn't, but then September came

We'd go down to the water

And drink straight from the bottle

The waves rolled in when we were just setting sail

We rode around all summer

We knew the end was coming

At least we'd have a hell of a story to tell

From that sunset carousel

From that sunset carousel
