Mary Go Round

Mary and I were the perfect picture of love But my world started spinning around Till it wasn't enough I tried to hang on to the heaven she made just for me But when I slipped and fell It drove her to hell And lord knows that I hate to see Mary go round Mary go round Mary I wish you'd stop taking your heartache to town Why can't you see That free love ain't free You'll spin till you fall to the ground Mary I wish that you'd never found The merry-go-round Nah, she's not the first to discover The devil's playground But this ain't no game And these demons ain't playing around They'll make her believe They can drown all her pain with a drink And as she sinks below It's burning my soul To watch them all laugh as they see Mary go round Mary go round Oh, Mary I wish you'd stop taking your heartache to town Why can't you see That free love ain't free You'll spin till you fall to the ground Mary I wish that you'd never found The merry-go-round You'll spin till you fall to the ground Mary I curse the day that you found The merry-go-round --- Mary Go Round - Jamey Johnson
