The Tom Green County Fair Lyrics - Roger Miller

You know, it's funny how certain things stick with you through the years, like how it feels to be 10 years old at the county fair 

Hot dog stand, when you're hungry, hot dogs smell so doggone grand 

Hopping through the sawdust, running with my brothers, head to toe we're smiling at the Tom Green County Fair 

Rodeo, Tom Green County Fair's got one fine rodeo 

The cowboys are the greatest, the clown he is so funny 

You bust your britches laughing at the Tom Green County Fair 

Well, a Sunday at the fair can make a memory more valuable than gold 

Especially when you're 10 years old 

Ferris Wheel, just like an airplane in the sky that's how you feel 

Look down and see the people, wave your arms and holler 

Everybody's grinning at the Tom Green County Fair 

Nighttime comes, up there on the bandstand we see Billy Swan 

Everybody's clapping, Mom and Pop are dancing 

Sawdust is flying at the Tom Green County Fair 

Well, a Sunday at the fair can make a memory more valuable than gold 

Especially when you're 10 years old 

Time to go 

The pickup truck, it rattles down the gravel road 

And all of us kids sit backwards, looking through the dust cloud at the lights and the laughter, at the Tom Green County Fair
