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
|
