Verse
B A G#m A E
I met you on a midway at a fair last year
B A G#mA E
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
D A E D
You were playing on the horses, you were playing on the guitar strings
A E
You were playing like a devil wearing wings
D
Wearing wings
A E
You looked so grand wearing wings
D E
Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing?
D
Can you fly?
A E
I heard you can! Can you fly?

Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky
Bridge

I followed with the sideshows to another town

You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice

And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice

Once or twice

Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price

Pack it in

I heard you did! Pack it in

Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win

So lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news

Overtime

Always playin' one more hand for one more dime

Slowin' down I'm gettin' tired!

Slowin' down

And I envy you the valley that you've found

'Cause I'm midway down the midway

Slowin' down, down, down, down
