Lyrics
RIDING CAROUSELS (SMALL TOWN GIRL)
(Verse 1)
Just a small town girl
Puts the kettle on the stove
Looking out her window to the road as time goes by
And she married so young
Never understood just what she missed
Never finished school cause she fell in love with her first kiss
In her drawer she keeps a magazine
Within the folded pages are all her dreams
And when she goes to sleep at night she has the same old dream
Of traveling around the world like in a magazine
(Chorus)
She'll be riding carousels tonight
Riding on a golden horse of light
She'll be riding carousels tonight
She's taking home the brass ring tonight
Taking home the brass ring tonight
(Verse 2)
Just a small town girl
Takes an old broom to sweep the floor
Cooks the meals and does the chores
Keeps the fire warm
And the seasons they change
Now the kids are grown and her husbands gone
Now she's left on her own in this small town
In her drawer she keeps a magazine
Within the folded pages are all her dreams
And when she goes to sleep at night she has the same old dream
Of traveling around the world like in a magazine
(Repeat chorus)
