County Fair lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Every year when summer comes around

They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town

You can feel somethin's happenin' in the air

Well, from Carol's house up on Telegraph Hill

You can see the lights going up out in Soldiers Field

Getting ready, for the county fair

County fair, county fair

Everybody in town'll be there

So come on, hey we're goin' down there

(Hey) Little girl with the long blond hair

Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears

Baby, down at the county fair

Now you'll be hangin' tight when we hit the top

And that roller-coaster's ready to drop

And you're braggin', how you wasn't even scared

Well, baby, you know I just love the sound

Of the pipe organ on the merry-go-round

Baby, down at the county fair

County fair, county fair

Everybody in town'll be there

So come on, we're goin', goin' down there

(Hey) Little girl with the long blond hair

Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears

Baby, down at the county fair

At the north end of the field, well, they set up a stand

And they got a little rock and roll band

People dancin', yeah, out in the open air

Well, it's James Young and the Immortal Ones

Just two guitars, (baby) bass and drums

Just rockin', down at the county fair

(Well) County fair, county fair

Everybody in town'll be there

So come on, we're goin' down there

Hey, little girl, with the long blond hair

Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears

Baby, down at the county fair

Now it's getting late before we head back to town

We let the fortune wheel spin around

Come on, mister, tell me what's waiting out there

On my way out I steal a kiss in the dark

I hope I can remember where our car's parked

Baby, down at the county fair

Now off down the highway there's a last stream of cars

As we sit a while in my front yard

With the radio playin' soft and low

I pull Carol close to my heart

And I lean back and stare up at the stars

Oh I wish, I never have to let this moment go
