David Alan Coe A Sense Of Humor Lyrics

A Sense Of Humor Lyrics

By David Allan Coe



Every night another woman

Every day a different town

If I'm not accused of speeding

I'm accused of coming down

With a legal dose of something

That you heard was going 'round

And you wondered why I lost my sense of humor



Every song another record

Every day just like a clock

Knowing well I've had to take it

Till I make it to the top

With the devil right behind me

And my heart about to stop

Then you wondered why I lost my sense of humor



Twenty years I was in prison

More than that I was alone

Some lily-white reporter

Thinks it's time that I was stoned

Without sin, he wrote the story

And it chilled me to the bone

Then he wondered why I lost my sense of humor



I shaved my beard and cut my hair off

It don't matter anyhow

It was truth that told the answers

To the questions up till now

"Crucify him," someone shouted

From the safety of the crowd

Then they wondered why I lost my sense of humor



Hey, take them crosses from my doorstep

There's no reason to my rhyme

Everybody knows somebody

Will take care of me in time

I made friends of all you stand for

But the blind can't lead the blind

Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor



Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor

'Cause if I ever catch you I'm gonna kick your ass
