1)

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
