Lyrics:
came rolling into town on a summer night
lucky for me, your car broke down
at our only streetlight
and I was there to lend a hand
I closed the hood, and picked up my tools
you kissed me on the cheek
and whispered thank you in my ear
and that was all it took
at least you stayed for a week
But you're rolling from one home to the next
How many more like me have there been
Just like a carny
you move on without a trace
Don't tell me that you love me
you just say what you have to
to get what you need
and in the morning you'll be gone
pulling out stakes before the dawn
The week went fast
the love felt pure
I didn't see it comin' till she left for good
at least she left a note
explaining why she had to leave
she said her heart couldn't stay in one place
that there was too much love out there to take
still i wish her the best
I hope she finds her peace
Rolling form one home to the next
How many more like me are ahead
nothin' I could have said
nothin' I could have done
that would make you settle down
make you settle down for love
that would grown inside your soul
make you love me more
but your heart doesn't work that way
it's a shame you'll never know
you'll never know
there will be another town that you'll find tonite
and one more heart that you'll break,
and then you'll go
and then you'll go
