I just came to smell the flowers here in someone's darkest hour
|
I don't even know the one they've laid to rest
|
But anywhere there's a crowd and anywhere they're cryin' loud
|
Just seems to be the place I love the best
|
|
Surrounded by the blues in a place that losers choose
|
Where one smile cost at least a million tears
|
Look into my past in the bottom of a glass
|
The only place I've looked in many years
|
Now the ground don't seem so very low when you're down about as far as you can go
|
And it's pretty hard to smile while the whole world laugh in your face
|
And with no will left to live the world moves fast where you lie still
|
Too weak to stand and just not enough woman to join the race
|
So I just came to smell the flowers...
