Town Clown

Lately I'm not feeling like I used to
I'm hearing different stories every day
I used to be someone people believed in
But now they just laugh and turn the other way
[Chorus:]
And just when you, just when you
Think you've found a friend in this town
Somebody goes and spreads it around
And you're the town clown
I couldn't stand the thought of you cheating
I'd like to think that I could never tell
It turns out you were down on Lower Broadway
It turns out it was someone I knew well
And just when you, just when you
Think you know a man so well
It turns out he's fooling around
And you're the town clown
[Chorus]
And just when you, just when you
Think you know a man so well
That no good's fooling around
And you're the town clown
You're the town clown
You're the town clown

I don't know who I am
And I can't even say I give a damn
When didn't I know what to say
When didn't I [curse way?]
And I know I can't go on acting this way
This guitar smells like smoke
And lately I'm feeling like a joke
I go find another bar
I find somewhere to leave my car
Seems like these sleepless nights
Sometimes don't get you very far
But don't let it get you down
You know those bad times come around
Everybody feels like a stranger in their own town
My mama said that I was tough
She said I had it in my blood
So just stand right up tall
And don't worry about nothing at all
You know sometimes when you can't run
You've just got to crawl

The Goldmine
03:42
|

Daddy, you're a pilgrim on your own kind of cloud
You've got all the possessions to make a family so proud
But a house on the hill ain't everybody's dream
All the riches and the pleasures ain't everything
[Chorus:]
No, I don't want the goldmine
I don't want what you've got
No, I don't want the goldmine
I just want to be alright
You're the biggest and the brightest and the smartest one around
You've really tried your hardest to show your face in this town
But you left the ones you love to be with someone new
And this paper made of green is really making me blue
[Chorus]
Mama don't want me to fail
Mama don't want me to end up in jail
Mama don't want me to turn out like you
It turns out sometimes I do

High in Heels
03:40
|
|

[Chorus:]
High in heels, high on pills
Now who in the hell is gonna pay them bills
Hands are tired, hands are tied
Now who in the hell can get satisfied
We waited on the job but it took too long
Brother got in trouble, now the money's all gone
Mama said, hand out some bottles at the mule
And people still ask me why I didn't go to school
Now you might say, "how could they live that way?"
If they learned to love a dollar they'd have it their way
But daddy's gone, mama tried
Everybody's got their own kind of suicide
[Chorus]
Early one morning someone came to our door
They held a tiny book that said Heaven was in store
And if we believed, then there could be a way out
It seemed like quite a bit to think about
The church-going people know more than I do
And we might need Jesus but we also need food
There's a lot big people, places I ain't been
They all don't know about the shape I'm in
[Chorus]
Daddy's gone, mama tried
Everybody's got their own kind of suicide
Do not criticize what you don't know
And don't call it hell if you're too afraid to go
[Chorus]

Not My First Time
03:47
|
|
||
You're not my first man
I've been here before
I know you understand
You know it's gonna take more
You know it's not my first time
But it's better than last time
I've been here alone
Not a stranger in this bar
Now if I didn't come home
But I've made it this far
And no, it's not my first time
But it's better than last time
No, it's not my first time
But it's better than last time
I'm leaving again
He's leaving, too
Days go by with no end
But I know what to do
And no, it's not my first time
Won't ever be my last time
No, it's not my first time
Won't ever be my last time

Me and You Again
03:00
|
|

I've been running around and never found no one
No one here likes to have my fun
I ain't got a job, ain't got no money
This whole town just looks at me funny
And now it's me and you again
Now it's me and you again
A whole lot of love and not enough speed
We're the kind of people that you might meet
In some dirty old bar way across town
We stick around until the lights go down
And now it's me and you again
Now it's me and you again
And there's a lot of things that's been on my mind
When the comedown starts I'll be doing time
My heart will break again
And I've let you in and that's just fine
I'm not worried about what I can't define
And now it's me and you again
And there's a lot of things that's been on my mind
When the comedown starts I'll be doing time
My heart will break again
And I've let you in and that's just fine
I'm not worried about what I can't define
And now it's me and you again
I never wanted to have someone
Now I don't see how it can't be done
I'm moving everywhere just as slow as I can
Look now here I am in love again
And now it's me and you again
Now it's me and you again
Now it's me and you again
Now it's me and you again

One Time Again
02:37
|
|

This morning you told me that you loved me
This afternoon the kisses had no end
But by tonight you're feeling right
And you're a jealous man
And here we go one time again
[Chorus:]
One time again you tell me that you're sorry
One time again you tell me it's not like you
But I know that you've been drinking
And tonight you're not my friend
And I don't think I can forget one time again
Every day I tell you I adore you
And every night I'm repeating what I've said
But right now you don't believe me
You've got stories in your head
So let me just tell you one time again
[Chorus]
Yes I know that you've been drinking
You think I've got another man
And I don't think I can forget one time again

Getting There
02:53

You can't change your shoes until they've been split
You can't sing the blues until you've been in it
And you can't count the miles until you've been anywhere
All the while never arriving, always getting there
You can't change a memory in time
You can't stop the world on a dime
You've never lost if you consider your life fair
All the while never arriving, always getting there
[Chorus:]
Only getting there, only getting there
I'm never arriving, always getting there
Only getting there, only getting there
I'm never arriving, always getting there
No matter the mountain that stands tall
You never know until you've climbed 'em all
On the other side you finding it lying there
All the while never arriving, always getting there
[Chorus]
I'm never arriving, always getting there
