Lyrics

Goin' down to the county fair

Going to the county fair

Even though I met you there

Meeting someone at the fair doesn't imply love

Doesn't mean I love you

Clarifying that meeting doesn't equate to love

Took a ride on the carousel

Taking a ride on the carousel

Got on the Gravitron

Riding the Gravitron until feeling unwell

'Til I didn't feel well

Experiencing discomfort on the Gravitron ride

I know it never made you sick

Acknowledging that the ride didn't make the other person sick

Lots of things never made you sick

Listing things that don't make the other person sick

Like riding in the back of the bus

Referencing riding in the back of the bus

Eating food that truckers bought

Mentioning eating trucker-bought food

We were just sixteen, born in 1993

Describing being sixteen, born in 1993

Fannie Mae cleaned out your dad's IRA

Fannie Mae affecting the father's IRA, hindering college plans

So you couldn't go to college

Resulting in not going to college

You just stuck around town

Staying in town despite the setback

'Til one day you find yourself

Finding contentment in the present moment

It's good enough for now

Accepting the current situation as satisfactory

Got a part time job at the flower shop

Working part-time at a flower shop

Trimming the trees and driving a truck

Engaged in tree trimming and truck driving

You work with a high school kid who sells you pot

Working with a high school colleague who sells drugs

la-da-di-da, la-da-di-da

Singing a nonsensical refrain (la-da-di-da)

Tears went down your face

Tears shed while discarding trophies

When you threw your trophies away

Expressing a emotional moment of letting go

Fannie Mae cleaned out your dad's IRA

Reiteration of Fannie Mae affecting the dad's IRA

Hooray!

Celebrating the impact (sarcastic or genuine)

Goin' down to the county fair

Repeating the intention of going to the county fair

Even though I met you there

Reiteration that meeting at the fair doesn't imply love

Doesn't mean I love you

Reaffirming that meeting doesn't equate to love

I guess I never loved you

Expressing doubt about ever having loved the person

I guess I never loved you

Repeating the doubt about past love

I guess I never loved you

Repeating the uncertainty about past love
