You know it's funny how certain things stick with you thru the years, 

Like how it fells to be ten years old at the County fair 

Hotdog stand, 

When you're hungry hotdogs smell so doggone grand 

Hoppin' thru the sawdust, runnin' with my brothers 

Head to toe we're smilin', at the Tom Greene county fair 

Rodeo,

Especially when you're ten years old

Just like an airplane in the sky, that's how you feel 

Look down and see the people, wave your arms and holler 

Everybody's laughing at the Tom Greene county fair 

Night time comes, 

Up there on the bandstand we see Billy Swan 

Everybody's clappin', Mum and Pop are dancin' 

Sawdust is a flyin', at the Tom Greene county fair 

Well a Sunday at the fair can make a memory more valuable than gold 

Especially when you're ten years old 

Time to go, 

The pickup truck it rattles down the gravel road 

And all of us kids sit backwards, lookin' thru the dustcloud 

At the lights and the laughter at the Tom Greene county fair 

(spoken fadeout) 

well step right up and see the three eyed malarkey brothers 

smoking one big round cigar fresh from Havana, 

see the one legged chicken do the footrace with a sack of....
