[Verse 1]
Well, there ain't a bar left in this town
That'll serve me up and let me hang around
I wore out my welcome long ago
And what I'm gonna do, nobody knows
I've been actin' like a fool
But everybody knows it ain't nothin' new
Lord, I think I'm going down
I'm just a rodeo clown
I'm just a rodeo clown
Well, Lord, I'm just a rodeo clown

[Verse 2]
I make my living by the day
But I always find a way to spend my pay
Well, them neon lights are shining bright
I'm working on my tan here every night
Well, I've never been too good with the women
Guess that I ain't fit to wear no crown
But I got a girl named Julie Brown
That'll catch me when I'm drunk and falling down
I'm just a rodeo clown
Well, Lord, I'm just a rodeo clown

[Verse 3]
So turn it on, and cut me loose
I'm dancing 'round the jukebox like a goose
Put on my favorite country song
But you know I talk too much to sing along
I put on my hat and paint my face
I'm ready rearin' gearin' for the race
There ain't a bull could knock me down
I'm just a rodeo clown
I'm just a rodeo clown
Well, Lord, I'm just a rodeo clown
[Outro]
I'm just a rodeo clown
Well, Lord, I'm just a rodeo clown
I'm just a rodeo clown
Well, Lord, I'm just a rodeo clown
