The Only Show In Town Lyrics


Jesse Winchester The Only Show In Town


Maybe life is just put on for show
Oh but it's the only show in town
And it don't cost a nickel to get in
Oh but you'll pay dear to hang around

Maybe love's a joke you heard before
Still it makes you laugh until you cry
Laugh until you're rolling on the floor
Till the tears are streaming from your eyes

Oh la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la

Maybe love's a joke you heard before
Still it makes you laugh until you cry
So tell me that old story once a day
Every day until the day I die

Oh la la la la la la
Oh la la la la la la

Maybe life is just put on for show
Oh but it's the only show in town
And it don't cost a nickel to get in
Oh but you'll pay dear to hang around
Oh but you'll pay dear to hang around, oh yeah
Oh but you'll pay dear to hang around, yes you will
