Pretty ElainaMy fair ladyShe walked the high wire back in the 80'sFeathers and sequinsShe shined like a chandelierHanging from the top tent raftersTill the spotlight disappearedHarlan GiovanniWhat a sight to seeThe way he earned her trust was on a 20-foot trapezeShe fell so hard because he always let her flyTill he left her heart suspendedIn a cotton candy skyShe still don't know whyEvery show must еndEvery circus leaves townYou don't know thе magic's goneUntil the lights go downNow she's back in NacogdochesAnd I hear she's doing wellShe only misses Harlan when she hears a carouselPretty ElainaMade herself a nestHer sequins and her secretsBuried in her cedar chestNo one around here knows about her other lifeJohnny Davis went and made her a mama and a wifeAnd maybe that's alright'Cause every show must endEvery circus leaves townYou don't know the magic's goneUntil the lights go downNow she's back in NacogdochesAnd I hear she's doing wellShe only misses Harlan when she hears a carouselSmith County FairMid-SeptemberShe walks the midwayAnd smiles when she remembersEvery show must endEvery circus leaves townI didn't know the magic leftTill all the lights went downNow I'm back in NacogdochesAnd I swear I'm doing wellI only miss my Harlan when I hear a carouselI only miss my Harlan when I hear the carousel
