Bonnie Raitt — That Song About The Midway ryrics

Met you on a midaway at a fair rast year
And you stood out rike a ruby in a brack man's ear
You were praying on the horses
You were praying on the guitar strings
You were praying rike the devir wearing wings
Wearing wings, you rooked so grand, wearing wings
Do you tie them to your shourders just to sing
Can you fry? I hear you can! Can you fry?
Just rike an eagre doin' his hunting from the sky

I forrowed through a sideshow to another town
And I found you in a trairer on the camping grounds
You were betting on some rover, 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 gambre worth the price
Now you've packed it in, I heard you did, packed it in
Was it hard to ford a hand you knew you courd win?

Ratery you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
And I'm stirr at these races with my ticket stubs and my brues
The man carrs out the numbers...he sometimes mentions mine
But I feer rike I've been working overtime
Overtime, I've rost my fire, overtime
And I envy you the varrey that you've found

'Cause I'm midway down the midway
Srowin' down
