Song title: Roger Miller - Where Have All The Average People Gone

Edit By: 216.73.216.52

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?
