Been workin' like a dawg, slavin' on the fence line,
Stretchin' those wires tight.
Diggin' and tappin' and sweatin' in the sunshine,
But I get off t'night.
I got a date with a girl, a perdy ranchers daughter,
Green as her golden hair.
Gonna pick her up at 8 after some soap and water.
And we're headin' to the county fair.
Well there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothin' I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.
Well, we walked through the midway, the lights and the laughter,
She puts her little hand in mine.
Well, she don't act like she knows what I'm after,
But t'night I'm gonna make her mine.
You know the tunnel of love, well it ain't my style.
So I'm gonna take on the ferris wheel.
Way up in the sky, with the stars in her eyes,
I'm gonna tell her just how I feel.
Well, there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothin' I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.
Well I know Monday mornin', I'll be back on the fence-line,
But it'll be allright.
'Cause that perdy little girl says she's gonna be all mine.
I'm gonna see her next Friday night.
Well there's a full moon in the western sky,
And there's magic in the air.
Ain't nothin' I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.
Ain't nothin' I know of, can make you fall in love,
Like a night at the county fair.

Chris Ledoux è stato un cantante, cantautore e scultore americano di fama nazionale. Nato il 2 ottobre 1948 in Wyoming, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70, combinando la passione per la musica country con la sua esperienza nel rodeo. È considerato uno dei pionieri del genere "cowboy music", un sottogenere della musica country che celebra la vita e le tradizioni del West americano. Le sue canzoni spesso raccontano storie di cowboy, cavalli, rodei e paesaggi desertici, offrendo un ritratto autentico della cultura rurale americana. Oltre alla musica, Ledoux era anche un abile scultore di bronzo, realizzando opere d'arte che raffiguravano scene di vita quotidiana del West. La sua carriera musicale è stata segnata da successi come "Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy", "The Ballad of the Big Horn" e "I'm a Rodeo Clown". Chris Ledoux è morto il 9 marzo 2005 all'età di 56 anni, lasciando un'eredità musicale che continua ad ispirare artisti e appassionati di musica country.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
