"County Fair (La Garage Sessions '83)" lyrics - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Every year when summer comes around
They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town
And you can feel somethin' happenin' in the air
Well, from Carol's house up on Telegraph Hill
You can see the lights going up out in Soldier's Field
Getting ready for the county fair

[Chorus:]
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 blonde 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

[Chorus:]
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 blonde hair
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
Baby, down at the country fair

At the north end of the field, well, they set up a stand
And they got a little rock and roll band
The people dancin', yeah, out in the open air
It's James Young and the Immortal Ones
Just two guitars, baby, bass and drums
Rockin' down at the county fair

[Chorus:]
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 blonde hair
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
Baby, down at the county fair

Now it's gettin' late before we head back to town
We let the fortune wheel spin 'round
Come on, mister, tell me what's waitin' 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
I lean back and stare up at the stars
Oh, I wish never have to let this moment go
