about

Small town fair, small town growing pains, small town heartbreak.

lyrics

It's the end of summer and you're bored to tears
killing time looking forward to the fair

You'll sneak in through the service gate
it's easy to do during the firemen's parade

At the fair...

Snow cones and taffy, sausage and peppers
try not to notice some carnies look like leppers

An empty beer can in your hand
you're too young to drink but you pretend you can

At the fair...
meet me at the fair, all our friends will be there
we can hang out on the midway
ride the Ferris wheel at the end of the day

Teenagers gather behind the livestock hall
the boys have the girls pinned up against the wall

Fat girls flirting with skinny fags
they carry gold fish in plastic bags

At the fair...

You freaked out on a ride so the carny let you off
but people laughed so you walked home in a huff

Later on, sleeping in the back yard
the Ferris wheel lights compete with the stars

At the fair...
kiss me at the fair, hug me and I'll smell you hair
lead me on in that special way
and break my heart by the end of the day

Daniel Heila & Daniel Boone's Fault Eugene, Oregon

Podunk expat living in Oregon trying to remember to put the chickens in and the cats out at night. Will the woodshed ever get built? I wonder. Somewhere between family and fortune is a bit of quiet space where I get a song written now and then.
