Rodeo Clown Lyrics

He stood five foot six

Smelled of whiskey and cigarettes

He said my life could be a song I guess

No one listened as he rambled on

He said I wonder if they’ll miss me when I'm gone

They shoot horses

When they're worn out and weak

Make heroes of cowboys

So what about me

Now don't get me wrong

I wouldn’t trade the years

What I’ve gotta know

Is where do I go from here

Good times and bad times, ups and downs

I spent my life making people laugh, but look at me now

Painting on a smile cuz I forgot how

Well that's the life of, this rodeo clown

These days it seems

All I ever get done

Is sit here and drink

And think about the way it was

And all I have left

Are these memories

But they're just as faded

As the man I used to be

Good times and bad times, ups and downs

I spent my life making people laugh, but look at me now

Painting on a smile cuz I forgot how

Well that's the life of, this rodeo clown

County fairs and cotton candy fill my memory

One more for the road ahead and the one left behind me

Good times and bad times, ups and downs

I spent my life making people laugh, but look at me now

Painting on a smile cuz I forgot how

Well that's the life of, yeah that’s the life of, this rodeo clown
