Joe Purdy - Ode to Sad Clown Lyrics
Darling i've been down and outever since you left townI aint been the same no matter how i trysometimes we dont get to choosethe ones who wear these walking shoesI'm just a poor boy with the bluesno I ain't nothin newI'm gonna fill this whiskey cupand i'm gonna pick this banjo upI'm gonna play with the tragediessinging good time harmoniesB Wright dont you let me downplay that one called sad clownYou know that ones about meI've been thinking about leaving townWell sunshine she came out todayand it dont matter anywayscuz i still see the waterthats drippin down my doori used to hear the children playi used to hear the birds singone day they just stoppedi dont hear them anymoreI'm gonna fill this whiskey cupand i'm gonna pick this banjo upI'm gonna play with the tragediessinging good time harmoniesB Wright dont you let me downplay that one called sad clownYou know that ones about meI've been thinking about leaving townOh and i got caught in this whistling winddoin my best to regret these sinsLord would you forgive me if you know that i'm gonna do it againits not that i'm not sorry Lord, its just that im not strongoh cuz when that woman looks at me i cant remember right from wrongI'm gonna fill this whiskey cupand i'm gonna pick this banjo upI'm gonna play with the tragediessinging good time harmoniesB Wright dont you let me downplay that one called sad clownYou know that ones about meI've been thinking about leaving townSad clown, sad clownwatch the wheels roll aroundtake that money into towngo buy a drinksad clown, sad clownalways with that same frowncircus train got you down,you're thinking bout leaving town
