County Fair Lights

Lyrics

Verse 1
There's a hand-painted sign on the edge of town Been going up every July Kids on bicycles race down Main Like they're chasing summertime
The Lions Club's selling barbecue The church ladies brought their pies And old Mr. Parker's parked his tractor In the same spot his daddy liked
Chorus
Under those county fair lights Everybody looks a little younger tonight Old friends laughing like no time's gone by Sweethearts dancing while the fiddles play all night
For one week every year This little town shines bright Yeah, we're more than dots on a highway map Under those county fair lights
Verse 2
Blue ribbons hanging from the livestock barn Proud kids standing by their names Grandpa telling stories that get bigger every year And nobody minds anyway
The Ferris wheel turns above the crowd Like it always has somehow And folks who've moved a hundred miles away Find a reason to come back around
Chorus
Under those county fair lights...
Bridge
Someday the rides'll leave again The midway'll turn back into grass But the memories made on these summer nights Are the kind that always last
Final Chorus
Under those county fair lights Everybody looks a little younger tonight Old friends laughing like no time's gone by Sweethearts dancing while the fiddles play all night
For one week every year This little town shines bright Yeah, we're more than dots on a highway map Under those county fair lights
Yeah, we're more than dots on a highway map Under those county fair lights
