Story Behind The Song

I got the idea from an old movie. I blended all the words together in the chorus to visualize what you might see if you were on a spinning ride, like a tilt-a-whirl

Song Description

deadbeat dad meets carnie girl, they make love on a tilt-a-whirl, have a baby, he takes off. But they don't ride for free, they pay, just like you and me

Lyrics

Bobby White Dove passed this way
About three years ago they say
He was shackin up with Jenny Sprague
In a southtown trailer park
She had a baby but he had no plan
Now he's back on the run again
He sends money, when he can
But it never goes too far

Deadbeat dad meets carnie girl
Makin love on a tilt-a-whirl
Hopin their love won't let em down as they go round and round
Fright-train-station-wagon-wheel-of-fortune-tellers-cards
Can't forget that moment under the stars

She was born in a ticket stand
The only daughter to a carnie man
He said "get hitched, girl before you get fat"
But she wanted so much more than that
She got a tattoo and she joined the corp
But she went AWOL cause she got bored
She joined a carnie and she's back on the road
At nineteen and a half years old

Deadbeat dad meets carnie girl
Makin love on a tilt-a-whirl
Hopin there love won't let em down as they go round and round
Fright-train-station-wagon-wheel-of-fortune-tellers-cards
Can't forget that moment under the stars

He was called a deadbeat dad
Bobby White Dove was his name
He was born half Cherokee
To Running John and Daisy Mae
Now this story is untold
Like an umbrella I unfold
Pouring rain on a saturday stops my parade
Bobby's runnin to this very day

Deadbeat dad meets carnie girl
Makin love on a tilt-a-whirl
But they don't ride for free, they pay just like you and me
Fright-train-station-wagon-wheel-of-fortune-tellers-cards
Can't forget that moment under the stars
