Verse 1:
Now I've been quite the traveler
Ever since I hit the road
And the sullen county carnival
Has been my earn in gold
Verse 2:
I've been quite alone
Since I remember when
I turned my ultimatums
Into chips and cashed them in
Verse 3:
I used to run the Ferris wheel
But that'd be hard to prove
I can't stand to see a rolling wheel
Propped up so it can't move
Verse 4:
I used to run the carousel
Hell, that's just round and round
I never liked to see them ponies
Painted up and bolted down
Chorus:
The only thing that keeps me from stayin' here is leavin'
The only thing that saves me from it all is I'll be gone
Just when I could trust in all the things that I believe in
I had to pack it up and move along
And I'll tell you the boys I'm not the only one
Verse 5:
I was a straight man at the ring toss
But that was just a jaunt
I can't see throwin' rings around
Things you don't really want
Verse 6:
I could run the roller coaster
But that might break my heart
So much hard travelin'
Just to wind up where you start
Verse 7:
Now I just work the gateway
And I'm pretty satisfied
My little booth is red and blue
And I just sit inside
Verse 8:
I just take your money
And give tickets out in trade
Think about my life
And all the promises I made
Chorus:
The only thing that keeps me from stayin' here is leavin'
The only thing that saves me from it all is I'll be gone
Just when I could trust in all the things that I believe in
I had to pack it up and move along
And I'll tell you the boys I'm not the only one
Who's runnin' from the things he's left undone
Waylon Arnold Jennings (1937-2002) è stato un leggendario cantante e chitarrista statunitense, considerato uno dei pionieri del movimento outlaw country. Nato in Texas, Jennings iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '50 come musicista di supporto per diversi artisti country. Nel 1964 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line". Nel corso degli anni '70, Jennings si affermò come figura chiave dell'outlaw country, un movimento che rifiutava le convenzioni del Nashville Sound e abbracciava uno stile più rock e indipendente. Collaborò con artisti come Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson e Johnny Cash, formando il gruppo di super-star noto come "The Highwaymen". I suoi album più importanti includono "Honky Tonk Heroes", "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" e "Wanted! The Outlaws". Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys", "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)" e "Good Hearted Woman". Jennings è stato un artista influente che ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella storia della musica country.
