KACEY MUSGRAVES - MERRY GO 'ROUND SONG LYRICS

If you ain't got two kids by 21, You're probably gonna die alone
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 supposed to
Same hurt in every heart, Same trailer, different park

Mama's hooked on Mary Kay, Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down, Mary, Mary quite contrary
We get bored, so, we get married, 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
Sayin' 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
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down, Mary, Mary, quite contrary
We get bored, so, we get married, 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
Just like dust, we settle in this town, On this broken merry go 'round, 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
