Blue County Lyrics
"Firecrackers And Ferris Wheels"

I was sittin' in my car the other night
Behind a couple of high school kids
Light turned green and they didn't go
They were locked in a red light kiss
Yeah, yeah, oh
Took me back to a long time ago
To a girl I used to know, know

And we were firecrackers and ferris wheels
Lipstick kisses and pink high heels
Cotton dresses and sun tan lines
And she was all mine, she was all mine
She was so fine
Yeah, and she was all mine

Spent a long summer waitin'
For the lights to turn green
It's been so long since I had that dream
And lookin' back now I think it's me I miss
The small town rebel and innocence
Yeah, yeah

And I was firecrackers and ferris wheels
Too wonderful, get the way it feels
New black Thomas and Seers guitar
Sneakin' into a smokey bar
The world was mine, it was so fine
Yeah, that world was all mine

I watched the cars go flyin' past
And man it all goes by so fast

Firecrackers and ferris wheels
Time is a thief that tries to steal
But nothing's gonna take these memories
They're always gonna be right here with me

Firecrackers and ferris wheels
Makin' out behind the football field
Cheap talk and perils flash past a hundred miles an hour
Never, ever lookin' back
And it was so fine
It was fine, it was so fine, yeah
The world was all mine, it was so fine, yeah

I got miles and miles and miles to go
The memories and the radio
Mine, it was all mine
