The Medicine Show

I've got a Page One story buried in my yard

I've got a troubled mind

I'm going down to the medicine show

If I've got to choose between doing penance

And doing time

I'm going down to the medicine show

I've got a one way ticket on the 8:06

To the outskirts of town

I'm going down to the medicine show

And I'll say, "hey conductor

Now don'tcha stop until you hear that gypsy sound

I'm going down to the medicine show

But I know that it's hard to be a reasonable man

When you stop finding reasons for everything

But tonight I'll get some answers

Down at the medicine show

I'm gonna find me that gypsy girl

That likes to dance and cry

When I go down to the medicine show

And we're gonna lay our burden down

Beneath that lonesome gypsy sky

When I go down to the medicine show
