She climbs aboard when the lights look bright
Laughs like a cigarette burnin’ through the night
Says “spin me fast till the world feels new”
Then jumps off cold when the ride goes through
I gave her songs and a broke-down name
She gave me kisses dipped in gasoline
Now there’s rust where the colors used to shine
And another empty seat ridin’ next in line
Chorus
We’re just Ferris wheels to women
Round and round till the thrill starts dimmin’
They love the view when the stars all glow
Then they want off before the rain and smoke
They wave goodbye while we’re still spinnin’
Yeah, we’re just Ferris wheels to women
Verse 2
I seen cowboys fall for painted smiles
Trade their souls for a couple county miles
One minute she’s holdin’ on for dear life
Next minute she’s somebody else’s Friday night
There’s always another carnival in town
Another fool lettin’ his guard down
But these old bolts still creak and turn
Guess some hearts just never learn
Chorus
We’re just Ferris wheels to women
Round and round till the thrill starts dimmin’
They love the lights and the danger too
Till the ride slows down and the sky turns blue
Then they’re gone before the song is finished
Yeah, we’re just Ferris wheels to women
Bridge
But every now and then one stays through the storm
Holds your hand when the paint gets worn
Ain’t lookin’ for fireworks every night
Just somebody worth ridin’ beside
Final Chorus
Maybe I ain’t just a Ferris wheel to women
Maybe one still sees the soul that’s hidden
Past the rust and the county scars
Past the smoke and these rundown bars
Till then I’ll keep this old ride spinning
Like a outlaw Ferris wheel for women
