The 8:17 Northbound Success Merry-go-round Lyrics - 25 Demos - Margo Guryan

THE 8:17 NORTHBOUND SUCCESS MERRY-GO-ROUND 

 

Words and Music by Margo Guryan 

 

I knew the man well 

We used to be good friends a long time ago 

He had a heart and a mind 

He was one of a kind 

The kind of a man a man would be lucky to know 

 

But then there came a change 

As I recall it all, it all happened fast 

It was as though he had seen the American dream 

And thought that the dream would bring him fulfillment at last 

 

He put on a suit 

He put on a shirt 

He put on a tie 

He kissed his child 

He kissed his wife 

He kissed his life good-bye 

 

The last I saw of him 

He walked along the road, and he looked around 

As though he wanted to see one more blossoming tree 

Before he'd be walking on cold city ground 

 

He got to the station 

He climbed aboard 

The eight-seventeen northbound success merry-go-round
