Amusement Park Ride Lyrics

The Ferris wheel is broken

The roller coaster stopped

The sign atop the haunted house

Has rusted out and dropped

Days at the amusement park

Of 25-cent joy

They don't exist, they're in the mist

Just like

That laughing boy

This is where we used to sit

I smell the coffee still

We'd talk of children we would have

And walk home up that hill

Her sheets were trimmed with purple lace

They made me laugh inside

She grown up, me a pup

Amusement park ride

My daughter came by yesterday

I shared with her the card

She made for me one Father's Day

I caught her off her guard

She looked away to check her tears

But I looked back with pride

Another twirl on the tilt-a-whirl

Amusement park ride

Days arrive and then they go

One slips into the other

Don't have many visitors

I think about my brother

I've outlived almost everyone

And, yes, I miss my bride

I recall when I had it all

Amusement park ride
