That Song About The Midway Lyrics - Streetlights - Bonnie Raitt

I met you on a midaway at a fair last year 

And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear 

You were playing on the horses 

You were playing on the guitar strings 

You were playing like the devil wearing wings 

Wearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wings 

Do you tie them to your shoulders just to sing 

Can you fly? I hear you can! Can you fly? 

Just like an eagle doin' his hunting from the sky

I followed through a sideshow to another town 

And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds 

You were betting on some lover, shootin' out the dice 

And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice 

Once or twice, I heard ya did, once or twice 

Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price 

Now you've packed it in, I heard you did, packed it in 

Was it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win? 

Photos 

Lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news 

And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues 

The man calls out the numbers... he sometimes mentions mine 

But I feel like I've been working overtime 

Overtime, I've lost my fire, overtime 

And I envy you the valley that you've found 

'Cause I'm midway down the midway 

Slowin' down
