Travis Tritt - Circus Leaving Town lyrics

Before you draw the final curtain

Before the big top crashes down

Before you pack away my trunk case

I'd like to take a final bow

One last chance to hear the laughter

And see your face there in the crowd

One last moment in the spotlight

One last chance to be your clown

I guess you're tired of walking tightropes

Of setting up and tearing down

You want a place to call forever

And rest your feet on solid ground

Somewhere you've lost that sense of wonder

But that's still the place I'm bound

I'm a storm in search of thunder

I'm just a circus leaving town

Once we could fill a room with laughter

And fill each other's hearts with joy

Through each trial and disaster

Still we cling to our choice

To take a path so unforgiving

A road that waits for no one

You know we chose to keep on living

Oh, tell me where did we go wrong

I guess you're tired of walking tightropes

Of setting up and tearing down

You want a place to call forever

And rest your feet on solid ground

Don't try to break this spell I'm under

Or stop these wheels from spinning round

I'm a storm in search of thunder

Yes, I'm a circus leaving town

Some day you'll wake up and wonder

And your heart will start to pound

And you'll long for the thunder

And the kisses of a clown
