County Fair (LA Garage Sessions '83)

[Verse 1]

Every year when summer comes around

They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town

And you can feel somethin' happenin' in the air

Well, from Carol's house up on Telegraph Hill

You can see the lights going up out in Soldier's Field

Getting ready for the county fair

[Chorus]

County fair, county fair

Everybody in town will be there

So come on, hey, we're goin' down there

Hey, little girl with the long blonde hair

Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears

Baby, down at the county fair

[Verse 2]

Now you'll bе hangin' tight when we hit the top

And that rollеr coaster's ready to drop

And you're braggin' how you wasn't even scared

Well baby, you know I just love the sound

Of the pipe organ on the merry-go-round

Baby, down at the county fair

[Chorus]

County fair, county fair

Everybody in town will be there

So come on, we're goin', goin' down there

Hey, little girl with the long blonde hair

Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears

Baby, down at the country fair

[Verse 3]

At the north end of the field, well, they set up a stand

And they got a little rock and roll band

The people dancin', yeah, out in the open air

It's James Young and the Immortal Ones

Just two guitars, baby, bass and drums

Rockin' down at the county fair

[Chorus]

Well, county fair, county fair

Everybody in town will be there

So come on, we're goin' down there

Hey, little girl with the long blonde hair

Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears

Baby, down at the county fair

[Verse 4]

Now it's gettin' late before we head back to town

We let the fortune wheel spin 'round

Come on, mister, tell me what's waitin' out there

On my way out, I steal a kiss in the dark

I hope I can remember where our car's parked

Baby, down at the county fair

[Verse 5]

Now off down the highway, there's a last stream of cars

We sit a while in my front yard

With the radio playin' soft and low

I pull Carol close to my heart

I lean back and stare up at the stars

Oh, I wish never have to let this moment go
