State Fair Lyrics - Red And Rio Grande/deep Thoughts From A Shallow Mind - Doug Supernaw

Nineteen hundred seventy three 

My second cousin Calvin and me 

We loaded down his old blue green Corvair 

And headed for the State Fair 

Was mid October and the autumn breeze 

Shook the colors out of the trees 

Time was passing but who were we to care 

We were headed for the State Fair 

And I remember Calvin reaching underneath the dash 

Pulling out that pack of cigarettes that he kept stashed 

For half the morning we blew smoke rings in the air 

Like two big fat millionaires 

It happened way out on route twenty nine 

Some drunk driver came across the yellow line 

Calvin's momma cried and his daddy sat and stared 

Life can sure be unfair 

It's been so long since that dark day 

I thought by now I'd have put the past away 

But just this morning I found myself back there 

Going to the State Fair 

And I remember Calvin reaching underneath the dash 

Pulling out that pack of cigarettes that he kept stashed 

For half the morning we blew smoke rings in the air 

Like two big fat millionaires
