Clever Disguise

I am just a troubadour

a tried and true believer

if there's nothing that I can live for

I don't want to be here

I wear my heart on my shirtsleeve

and my dark glasses over my eyes

clever disguise

clever disguise

I'm just a roadside flower draped in a fancy dress

from my booth in the broadcasting tower

I send out my s.o.s.

and when I reach into the breach

of a wandering pair of eyes

I see a clever disguise

clever disguise

I'm just a lonely freight train comin

hummin round a hairpin bend

tryin to keep my engines runnin

til I reach some kind of rainbow's end

I saw you there at the rally down at the city hall

and before you even reached your finale

I'd already started to fall

you say you're just a prairie boy

neither wealthy, worthy, nor wise
