Travis Tritt - Circus Leaving Town Lyrics
(Written by Phillip Claypool)Before you draw the final curtainBefore the big top crashes downBefore you pack away my trunk caseI'd like to take a final bow.One last chance to hear the laughterAnd see your face there in the crowdOne last moment in the spotlightOne last chance to be your clown.I guess you're tired of walking tightropesOf setting up and tearing downYou want a place to call foreverAnd rest your feet on solid ground.Somewhere you've lost that sense of wonderBut that's still the place I'm boundI'm a storm in search of thunderI'm just a circus leaving town.Once we could fill the room with laughterAnd fill each other's hearts with joyThrough each trial and disasterStill we cling to our choice.To take a path so unforgivingA road that waits for no oneYou know we chose to keep on livingLord, tell me where did we go wrong.I guess you're tired of walking tightropesOf setting up and tearing downYou want a place to call foreverAnd rest your feet on solid ground.Don't try to break this spell I'm underAnd stop these wheels from spinning aroundI'm a storm in search of thunderYes, I'm just a circus leaving town.Some day you'll wake up and wonderAnd your heart will start to poundAnd you'll long for the thunderAnd the kiss is of a clown...
