You know he's gotta get away

To the merry-go-round and round

Count times that he laid awake

At night thinkin'

Am I goin' down now

Am I goin' down

Am I goin' down now, oh



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



Merry-go-round



She waits alone

Just to love him through the night



I'm coming home baby
