County Fair

Lights come up when the sun goes down
Every backroad's pointin' into town
Dust on the midway, diesel in the air
Ferris wheel turnin' over the square
Corn dogs poppin' and the cover band's loud
Whole dang county turnin' out in a crowd
Bring your best girl and a cold one to share
Follow them lights to the county fair

Ain't nothin' like the county fair
Six bucks a ride and I don't even care
Grab your girl and throw your hands in the air
Ain't nothin', nothin' like the county fair

Old man Tucker won the pie-eatin' crown
Demolition derby tearin' up the ground
Fireworks poppin' over the grandstand lights
Half this town won't sleep at all tonight
Rigged ring toss, but I won her a bear
Cotton candy caught up in her hair
Tilt-a-whirl spinnin' and we don't got a care
Saturday night at the county fair

Ain't nothin' like the county fair
Six bucks a ride and I don't even care
Grab your girl and throw your hands in the air
Ain't nothin', nothin' like the county fair

Barker yellin' "come on son, take a chance"
Swing that hammer, ring the bell, and dance
Fattest blue-ribbon hog you ever seen
Kettle corn poppin' by the ticket machine
Long about midnight we're still goin' strong
Whole crowd singin' every word to the song
Load 'em in the truck bed, headlights flare
Nobody wants to leave the county fair

Come on and holler if you grew up here
Wave your hat and let out a cheer
Kick up the sawdust, stomp the ground
Loudest little town for miles around

Ain't nothin' like the county fair
Six bucks a ride and I don't even care
Grab your girl and throw your hands in the air
Ain't nothin', nothin' like the county fair

County fair, county fair
Ain't nothin', nothin' like the county fair
