Carnival Song Lyrics - Right For The Time - Waylon Jennings

I've been quite the traveler ever since I hit the road 

And the Sullen county carnival has been my earn in gold 

I've been quite alone since I remember when 

I turned my ultimatums into chips and cashed them in 

I used to run the Ferris wheel but that'd be hard to prove 

I can't stand to see a rolling wheel propped up so it can't move 

I used to run the carousel hell that's just round and round 

Never liked to see them ponies painted up and bolted down 

The only thing that keeps me from staying here is leaving 

The only thing that saves me from it all is I'll be gone 

Just when I could trust in all the things that I believe in 

I had to pack it up and move along 

And I'll tell you the boys I'm not the only one

I was a straight man at the ring toss but that was just a jaunt 

I can't see throwing rings around things you don't really want 

I could run the roller coaster but that might break my heart 

So much hard travelin' just to wind up where you start

Now I just work the gateway and I'm pretty satisfied 

Little booth is red and blue and I just sit inside 

I just take your money and give tickets out in trade 

Think about my life and all the promises I made 

The only thing that keeps me from staying here is leaving... 

Who's running from the things they've left undone
