[00:00:02] John Mellencamp - County Fair

[00:00:08]

[00:00:14] @ @

[00:00:20] Well the County Fair left quite a mess

[00:00:22] In the county yard

[00:00:25] Kids with eyes as big as dollars

[00:00:28] Rode all the rides

[00:00:30] Strip artists and con artists

[00:00:32] Put on quite a show

[00:00:35] And made some money then left town

[00:00:37] Where they went I don't know

[00:00:48] Hey all you suckers

[00:00:51] I heard a fat woman say

[00:00:53] Come on in for fifty cents

[00:00:56] You can stay in here all day

[00:00:58] So I took a chance I went inside

[00:01:01] Wasn't much there to see

[00:01:03] So I asked her for my money back

[00:01:06] And she just smiled at me

[00:01:11] Saw Princess Tonyika

[00:01:14] Taken off all her clothes

[00:01:17] Rode some rides and played some games

[00:01:19] Saw the Wild Man from Barneo

[00:01:22] There was a black man playing the blues

[00:01:27] Talked to some friends I hadn't seen in a while

[00:01:29] Through a football through a hoop

[00:01:35] Well I saw them loading up their trucks

[00:01:38] Taking down the rides

[00:01:40] Folding up all the tents

[00:01:43] There's a full moon in the sky

[00:01:45] Some were laughing some were cussing

[00:01:48] As they worked

[00:01:50] Saw one of them making love to a local girl

[00:01:58] I was minding my own business

[00:02:01] It was quarter after two

[00:02:04] When a fella walked up and said hey man

[00:02:06] I remember you

[00:02:09] And then he shoved me

[00:02:11] And pulled out his knife

[00:02:14] Stuck me three times in the chest

[00:02:16] And I died that night

[00:02:27] For the like of me

[00:02:29] I can't remember who he was

[00:02:32] And why he'd put a knife in me

[00:02:34] In the dusty parking lot

[00:02:37] Everybody said what a shame it was

[00:02:42] But he knew better than staying out

[00:02:44] Past twelve o'clock

[00:02:55] Some people put no value

[00:02:58] On a human life

[00:03:01] And there are places we all go

[00:03:03] That just ain't safe at night

[00:03:06] If somebody would do this to me

[00:03:08] They just might do it to you

[00:03:11] So be careful where you go

[00:03:13] And what you say or do

[00:03:23] Well the County Fair left quite a mess

[00:03:27] In the county yard
