Carnival Bum Video (MV)

The carnival is closed for the winter

The gates are full of nails

All my belongings in a camper truck

In front of some Hell Hole Motel.



The rides are wrapped in canvass

There's a smell of snow in the air

They're taking apart the ferris wheel

Like a game of solitaire.



Love o love I will be home

When the trees are bare and brown

For without you I'm just a carnival bum

Whose fate goes round and round

Whose fate goes round and round



When Little Maggie lost Big Earle

Man, That was about it for her

She was MIA in the Day to Day

The next 3 years were a blur



I left home when Maggie checked out

I been a snowbird ever since

I work the curcuit in the summertime

Come Winter I jump the Fence



Love o love I will be home

When the trees are bare and brown

For without you I'm just a carnival bum

Whose fate goes round and round

Whose fate goes round and round



Darkness comes with the headlights.

It gives me a little relief.

I feel a little more like a leaf in the wind

And a little bit less like a thief.



Sometimes I feel I stole life itself

Im as lucky as a man can be

The carnival is closed for the winter

But it dont matter to me



Love o love I will be home

When the trees are bare and brown

For without you I'm just a carnival bum

Whose fate goes round and round

Whose fate goes round and round
