Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Inside the pocket of a clown
Is a sad place to hang around
Just watching smiles turn into frowns
Inside the pocket of a clown
[Verse 2]
Inside the heartache of a fool
You'll learn things they don't teach in school
And lessons there can be real cruel
Inside the heartache of a fool
[Verse 3]
Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes
[Verse 4]
Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes
[Verse 5]
Inside a memory from the past
Lives every love that didn't last
And sweet dreams can start to fade real fast
Inside a memory from the past
[Verse 6]
It's a real sad place to hang around
Inside the pocket of a clown
Written by: Dwight Yoakam
