City Clown

I've spent some time in the city - oh lord
In lines and traffic jams
I've spent time in the nitty gritty mud
Schemes and frauds and scams

I rather would stay for all my time
Rambling on the road
Kicking pebbles with my shoes
And never stand in a row

I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town
No I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town

All my dime I spent it on loan
Installments to the bank
Where I don't even have an account
I'll end up in the tank

Well I don't need much to do what I want
Rambling on the road
A guitar on my shoulder
That ain't a heavy load

I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town
No I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town

No I am not a fraidy cat
But here from under my hat
The view is grim and the outlook vague
I wish I was going blind

I will go with a freight train
To where the railway ends
I'll get off and find a job
Working with my hands

I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town
I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town

If you will ever see me there
Fiddling around
You'll see me walking without chains
I will not be bound

And you can join me any day
And you can bring your friends
Cuz the land is free for you and me
Until the story ends

I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town
I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town

No I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town
I am not a city clown
I'm leaving this sad old town
