lyrics

Carousel Cowboy
(John Sule and Glenda Rogers)

Dwayne’s a circus man, he runs the carousel
You’ll always see him there, working at the local fair

He dreams of open plains, and real horses with flowing manes
While life goes round and round, to the tune of the merry-go-round
(but he was)

Chorus
Born to ride those plains
Faster than a bullet train
Hero to those in need
Cowboy on his trusty steed, cowboy on his trusty steed


Day by day he prays, to ride those silver plains
But he does his job with care, for the folk who come to the fair

The Fortune-teller Jane said, Dwayne your luck will change
If you catch the south-bound train, and don’t you come back here again
(You were)

Chorus
Born to ride those plains
Faster than a bullet train
Hero to those in need
Cowboy on your trusty steed, cowboy on your trusty steed

Dwayne’s luck did change, when caught the south-bound train
And with him he took sweet Jane, to ride with him the plains
(They were)

Chorus
Born to ride those plains
Faster than a bullet train
Heroes to those in need
Cowboys on their trusty steeds, cowboys on their trusty steeds

Both Sides of the Line's cd, Sideshow, is " a record chock full of slinky country tunes, built upon 21st Century ‘adult contemporary’ bones. Digging a little beneath the surface you will find cooing swing come-ons here (Magical Man), fleeting touches of Americana there (Macs General Store), rockabilly beats and soft rock tendencies throughout." (Ricardo Kerr, NZ Musician). ... more
