	Story Behind the Song This was written in Blue Hill, Maine after spending the afternoon at the Blue Hill fair. It's one of my favorite old fashioned carnivals. There are so many carnival songs out recorded - the atmosphere just begs to be turned into story. I couldn't resist throwing one into the mix. Lyrics Hes the ride man, got control Run the people in circles to rock n roll Shes the freak show host, drew the short straw Theyll meet later when everything closes In a trailer on the back dirt lot CH Its another small town, another fairground Another “Show must go on.” Its a carnival life, shes a carnival wife Stuck in a carnival song Hes the swingman, put the lever in gear Country music playing over hot summer air Draws the long line, cause he pleases the crowd She laughs as he dances around CH They had dreams once, long ago They were young then and it was still a show Now the towns keep coming and its getting old She wakes up, smelling grease from the fried dough CH
