You know he's gotta get away
 To the merry go round and round
 Count the times that he laid awake at night thinkin'
 Am I goin' down now
 Am I goin' down
 Am I goin' down now  oh!

 (2)
 It's not easy puttin' on a smile
 You're alone  lost and found
 She waits at home just to love him through the night thinkin'
 He's been gone so long now
 Is he comin' home?
 He's been gone so long now  oh!

 (Chorus)
 Merry-go-round and round (repeat)

 (1)(Chorus)(Chorus)
 She waits alone
 Just to love him through the night

 I'm coming home babe
