Dwight Yoakam - Pocket of a Clown lyrics

Inside the pocket of a clown

Is a sad place to hang around

Just watching smiles turn into frowns

Inside the pocket of a clown

Inside the heartache of a fool

You'll learn things they don't teach in school

And lessons there can be real cruel

Inside the heartache of a fool

Hollow lies, make a thin disguise

As little drops of truth fall from your eyes

--- Instrumental ---

Hollow lies, make a thin disguise

As little drops of truth fall from your eyes

Inside a memory from the past

Lives every love that didn't last

Sweet dreams can start to fade real fast

Inside a memory from the past

It's a real sad place to hang around

Inside the pocket of a clown...
