[Verse 1]
Well, I met you at a midway
At a fair last year
And you stood out like a ruby
In a black man's ear
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You were playing on the horses
You were playing on the guitar strings
You were playing like a devil
Wearing wings
[Chorus 1]
Wearing wings, you looked so grand
Wearing wings
Do you tape them to your shoulders
Just to sing?
Can you fly? I hear you can
Can you fly
Like an eagle
Doing your hunting from the sky?
[Verse 2]
Travel with the sideshows
To another town
And I find you in a trailer
On the camping ground
[Pre-Chorus]
You were betting on some lover
You were shaking up the dust
And I thought I saw you cheat
Once or twice
[Chorus 2]
Once or twice, I heard you been
Once or twice
Were you wondering was the gamble
Worth the price?
Pack it in, I hear you did
Pack it in
Was it hard to fold a hand
You knew could win?
[Verse 3]
So lately you been hiding
It was somewhere in the news
And I'm still at these races
With these ticket stubs and my blues
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And a voice calls out the numbers
And it sometimes mentions mine
And I feel like I've been working
Overtime
[Chorus 3]
Over time, I've lost my fire
Over time
Oh, let's play one more hand
For one more dime
Slowing down and getting tired
Slowing down
Then I hand to you the value
That you found
[Outro]
'Cause that midway
Down the midway
Slowin' down, down
Down, down
