I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round,

Makin ever spot in town,

Startin out early, comin home late,

Ever night with a brand-new date!

I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round,

Actin like a foolish clown,

Still racin those blues that you left with me,

Wonderin if I'll ever be free.

Round and around and around I go,

Ridin high and feelin low,

Round and around just like a top,

Well, I'm a-gettin dizzy, but I can't stop!

Still racin those blues that you left with me,

Wonderin if I'll ever be free.

Yes, I'm wonderin if I'll ever be free!
