Roger Miller - Where Have All The Average People Gone Lyrics
The people in this city call me country,Because of how I walk and talk and smile.Well I dont mind them laughing in the city,But the country folks all say Im citified.The fighting men they say that Im a coward.Because I never push no one around.Gentle people call me trouble-maker,Cause Ill always fight and stand my ground.Funny I dont fit.Where have all the average people gone?Some pious people point and call me sinner,Because to them Ive never seen the lights.Other folks think of me as a preacher.Im just doing what I think is right.The wealthy people think that I am a hobo,Lean and hungry, writing mournful songs.And the poor, poor people think I am a rich man,But really, Im just trying to get along.Its funny I dont fit.Tell me where have all the average people gone?And the government has given me a number,To simplify my birth and life and death.And still my woman thinks Im awful important,Like the moon and the sun and the sea and the sky and breath.Yes, its funny I dont fit.Where have all the average people gone?Honey I dont fit,Where have all the average people gone?
