From the recording Tales from the Notepad
Lyrics
When I was a younger lad I went there with my dad The farris wheel it was so rad So tall and colored brightly The rides, man they went so fast The animals and the circus acts The clowns and all the acrobats I wished it'd last forever Each year we'd come back to this place This fair, surrounded by the Great Lakes State Where we'd make some memories Have us a blast Pass traditions on down to the next We're here for a good time But not a long time We just grab some great food And Catch some tunes and Enjoy The Ride As summer turns to fall We gather here, one and all On these grounds to have a ball Where differences don't matter We come together, Black red and white Religions are all set aside Underneath this awesome sky We stand brother to brother Each year we'd come back to this place This fair, surrounded by the Great Lakes State Where we'd make some memories Have us a blast Pass traditions on down to the next We're here for a good time But not a long time We just grab some great food And Catch some tunes and Enjoy The Ride With diverse harvests, and livestock Diverse neighbors coming together Don't let the world divide us What's different makes us stronger Each year we'd come back to this place This fair, surrounded by the Great Lakes State Where we'd make some memories Have us a blast Pass traditions on down to the next We're here for a good time But not a long time We just grab some great food And Catch some tunes and Enjoy The Ride We just grab some great food And catch some tunes and Enjoy The Ride
