Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Have you ever seen a one-trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one-trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog makin' his way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me
[Verse 2]
Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
You've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me
Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, can you ask for anything more?
[Verse 3]
Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothin' but dust and weeds?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punchin' at nothin' but breeze?
If you've ever seen the one-armed man then you've seen me
[Verse 4]
Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you've seen me
Bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me, can you ask for anything more?
[Verse 5]
These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home, I cannot stay
My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display
[Verse 6]
Have you ever seen a one-legged man tryna dance his way free?
If you've ever seen the one-legged man then you've seen me
