Ode To Sad Clown

Darling ive been down and out
ever since you left town
I aint been the same no matter how i try
sometimes we dont get to choose
the ones who wear these walking shoes
Im just a poor boy with the blues
no I aint nothin new
Im gonna fill this whiskey cup
and im gonna pick me some banjo up
Im gonna play with the tragedies
singing good time harmonies
B Wright dont you let me down
play that one called sad clown
You know that ones about me
Ive been thinking about leaving town
Well sunshine she came out today
and it dont matter anyways
cuz i still see the water
thats drippin down my door
i used to hear the children play
i used to hear the birds sing
one day they just stopped
i dont hear them anymore
Im gonna fill this whiskey cup
and im gonna pick me some banjo up
Im gonna play with the tragedies
singing good time harmonies
B Wright dont you let me down
play that one called sad clown
You know that ones about me
Ive been thinking about leaving town
Oh and i got caught in this whistling wind
doin my best to regret these sins
Lord would you forgive me if you know that im gonna do it again
its not that im not sorry Lord, its just that im not strong
oh cuz when that woman looks at me i cant remember right from wrong
Im gonna fill this whiskey cup
and im gonna pick me some banjo up
Im gonna play with the tragedies
singing good time harmonies
B Wright dont you let me down
play that one called sad clown
You know that ones about me
Ive been thinking about leaving town
3x:
Sad clown, sad clown
watch the wheels roll around
take that money into town
go buy a drink
sad clown, sad clown
always with that same frown
circus train got you down,
youre thinking bout leaving town
