text: I met you on a midaway at a fair last year
  And you stood out like a ruby in a black mans ear
  You were playing on the horses
  You were playing on the guitar strings
  You were playing like the devil wearing wings
  Wearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wings
  Do you tie them to your shoulders just to sing
  Can you fly? I hear you can! Can you fly?
  Just like an eagle doin his hunting from the sky
  I followed through a sideshow to another town
  And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
  You were betting on some lover, shootin out the dice
  And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice
  Once or twice, I heard ya did, once or twice
  Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price
  Now youve packed it in, I heard you did, packed it in
  Was it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win?
  Lately youve been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
  And Im still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
  The man calls out the numbers...he sometimes mentions mine
  But I feel like Ive been working overtime
  Overtime, Ive lost my fire, overtime
  And I envy you the valley that youve found
  Cause Im midway down the midway
  Slowin down
