I'm gonna tear your merry go round down stop your running around town

You're gonna lose your sneaking shoes I'm gonna tear you merry go round down



Well I ain't gonna be your hobby horse to ride

Walk up and down the midway by your side

We're on the road we cross it and love don't have a chance

You're too busy pitching pennies to think about romance

I'm gonna tear...

[ dobro ]

Well too many sideshows upset our plans

Why I'd have to reap your lawn and even hold your hand

In your little world of make believe love can't be real

And we can't keep on ridin' on this great big ferries wheel

So I'm gonna tear...

I'm gonna tear...
