Merry Go 'Round - Kacey Musgraves

If you ain’t got two kids by 21

You’re probably gonna die alone

At least that’s what tradition told you

And it don’t matter if you don’t believe

Come Sunday morning you best be

There in the front row, like you’re s’posed to

Same hurt in every heart

Same trailer, different park

Mama’s hooked on Mary Kay

Brother’s hooked on Mary Jane

And Daddy’s hooked on Mary two doors down

Mary Mary quite contrary

We get bored so we get married

And just like dust we settle in this town

On this broken merry go 'round

And 'round and 'round we go

Where it stops nobody knows

And it ain’t slowin' down

This merry go 'round

We think the first time’s good enough

So we hold on to high school love

Say we won’t end up like our parents

Tiny little boxes in a row

Ain’t what you want it’s what you know

Just happy in the shoes you’re wearin'

Same checks we’re always cashin'

To buy a little more distraction

'Cause Mama’s hooked on Mary Kay

Brother’s hooked on Mary Jane

And Daddy’s hooked on Mary two doors down

Mary Mary quite contrary

We get bored so we get married

And just like dust we settle in this town

On this broken merry go 'round

And 'round and 'round we go

Where it stops nobody knows

And it ain’t slowin' down

This merry go 'round

Mary Mary quite contrary

We’re so bored until we’re buried

And just like dust we settle in this town

On this broken merry go 'round

And 'round and 'round we go

Where it stops nobody knows

And it ain’t slowin' down

This merry go 'round

Jack and Jill went up the hill

Jack burned out on booze and pills

And Mary had a little lamb

Mary just don’t give a damn no more
