Been kickin’ sawdust
|
In these clothes
|
For a blue moon
|
And a red nose
|
The boys will put 'em up
|
And tear 'em down
|
We’ll wash away
|
The dirt
|
Just a glass a day
|
Ain’t gonna hurt
|
Pretty soon we’ll move on
|
Out of town
|
|
We pass them by
|
Across the plains
|
We don’t even try
|
To catch their names
|
It’s supper-time and their kids
|
Are home from school
|
They draw the shades
|
On their shops
|
While we go a'checking
|
Through the props
|
And putting on the paint
|
To play the fool
|
|
Then we're rollin’ on
|
Rollin' on
|
Feeling better
|
Than we did last night
|
Rollin’on rollin’ on
|
It’s hard sometimes
|
But pretty much it’s alright
|
|
I’ll go soft shoe
|
When it rains
|
I’ll go shuffle through
|
The aches and pains
|
"Mr. Young-at-heart"
|
That’s what I try to be
|
They all laugh
|
And cry
|
They get to feeling better
|
And that is why
|
If it was good for you
|
Truly it was good for me
|
|
Then we're rollin’ on
|
Rollin’ on
|
Feeling better
|
Than we did last night
|
Rollin’ on rollin’ on
|
It’s hard sometimes
|
But pretty much it’s alright
|
