Pony Boy "One Man Show"

One Man Show

Everybody knows a man in every little town
His curtain rises as the sun goes down
You’re just the big-top man waiting for your cue
Give the world a laugh that’s all we expect from you

Everybody knows
You’re the one-man show
No ticket needed I know
Gather round for the one-man show

He’s so quick and fearless they say
Nothing gets under your skin much these days
Always have quip or a clever turn of phrase
Ready on your tongue to lighten the weight

I came to your side again
Just like the last time you couldn’t hold it in
Always got the last word in always run the show
Your eyes as wide as a thief just had to let me go

Everybody knows
You’re the one-man show
No ticket needed I know
Gather round for the one-man show

Now Houdini’s in the graveyard and the dogs howl at the moon
I hear a flash of lightning I guess that means your passing through
My old friend who had all the lines
We both know living can be the harder life

Everybody knows
You’re the one-man show
No ticket needed I know
Gather round for the one-man show

Everybody knows
You’re the one-man show
No ticket needed I know
Gather round for the one-man show
