August Clown

I been up I been down
There's no reason to push me around
I saw more than I'd like to see
Won't you turn down the volume on that big screen TV
I fill it up then I give it up
Tell you stories about the life I lead
All these tall things that really matter to me
They'll be blown to the four winds by the seven seas

Girl like me I used to be the August Clown
Singing in bars with big TVs in little towns

I'll take the slow road and I tell you what
I can fit my treasures in the trunk of my car
One more drink at the end of the bar
Mesdames Monsieurs je voudrais vous presenter
I wanted to be humble
Wanted to be bad
I put myself under so much stress and pressure
I almost lost the best thing I had
Girl like me I used be the august clown
I would go singing in bars
With big TVs in little towns
Well I ain't got no guarantee
Come on look at me now
Standing on my own two feet
When it's time to get down

Then it comes the quiet time
We can dance one dance
To the old time songs
Oh memories sublime
If we dance one dance
To the old time memories
Sing along

Singing in bars
With big TVs in little towns
I ain't got no guarantee
Come on look at me look at me now
Standing on my own two feet
When it's time to get down down down down down

I said have a lovely afternoon baby
Have a lovely life
Have a lovely afternoon little lady
Come on have a lovely life

Have a lovely afternoon
