Kacey Musgraves - Merry Go 'Round

If you ain't got two kids by 21
You're probably gonna die alone
At 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 suposed to

Same hurt in every heart
Same trailer, different park

Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
And Daddie's hooked on Mary two doors down

Mary Mary quite contrary
We get bored so we get married
And 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
Say 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
Daddie's hooked on Mary two doors down

Mary Mary quite contrary
We get bored so we get married
And just like dust we settle in this town
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Where we stop nobody knows...
And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round...

Mary Mary quite contrary
We're so bored until we're buried
And 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
