One Trick Pony

I never saw a town where I threw them raises down

Didn't know the lonesome sound of a midnight train

The kind that calls my name, I was born to play the game

Even if it's all in vain, call me what you want

I'm bound to tell the truth the way that gamblers rarely do

They be tying up your noose and calling you "friend"

If it was up to me, like the bluebird you'd be free

Oh, this life ain't what it seems if you catch my drift

Rich men pretend to be poor, poor folks only want a little bit more

What they never had before and it's a crying shame

My daddy worked the land and Mama raised me with her hands

We all do the best we can with the cards we're dealt

I ain't one to beg or plead but I could sure use some relief

Those who label me a thief for standing up tall

And there's a woman on my mind, for her I'd gladly give my life

And the little girl by her side that wears my name

A one trick pony knows that it's all about the show

Life is but a rodeo and you can write that down

I best be moving on, you turn your head and I'll be gone

In this world I won't be long just like you
