Sometimes I'm A Clown

(앨범: Keep 'Em On They Toes - 2020)

She works a job, I work another
Too rich to be broke, too broke to be covered
In case of an emergency, call God
Tell him we're fine
Our first child just turned four
And I'm proud to say here comes one more
Wonder what we're gonna get done with all of this free time

Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
But the future ain't no joke
The days just don't slow down
The punch line's funny till you choke
And I keep my act sincere
Happy faces in the crowd
Laughing through the tears
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown

Sun every morning, a pie to the face
But this rat in the wheel is still in the race, hey
There's no sweat keeping the pace when you're barely getting by
I tend to bite off more than I can chew
Just trying to fill these oversized shoes
You can't lose those red nose blues, Lord, if you don't try

Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
But the future ain't no joke
The days just don't slow down
The punch line's funny till you choke
And I keep my act sincere
Happy faces in the crowd
Laughing through the tears
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown

Straight outta the cannon into the dirt
Oh, but baby is the daisy in the front pocket of my shirt

Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
But the future ain't no joke
The days just don't slow down
The punch line's funny till you choke
And I keep my act sincere
Happy faces in the crowd
Laughing through the tears
Oh, sometimes I'm a clown
