I cried my tears in a glass of tequila   For a truck-stop honey with a dubious name   She held my heart like a blackjack dealer   And took my money when she left the game   She was overly fond of sophisticated messin' around   I've had a bellyful of livin' in the same old merry-go-round      Well I played in the summer and I froze in the winter   And I hankered for the high school beauty queen   She was married to a rich young timber-miller   And christened a boy when she was just nineteen   Crazy love, never gonna settle down   I've had a bellyful of lovin' on the same old merry-go-round      Like any man I've got to work for a living   Just to earn my soul for a weekend show   Saturday morning I'll be down by the river   Getting whipped at the Copmanhurst rodeo   When the weekend comes I'm gonna set fire to the town   I've had a bellyful of workin' on the same old merry-go-round      I'm looking out as the sun goes down   Drinking Bundeburg at the end of the day   I'm twentyfive, I'm half alive   The rest is only just a ticket away   Give me a ticket, take me to a city hotel   I've had a bellyful of livin' on the same old merry-go-round
