Funny Man
Funny man, look at you you've all grown up
And your smile ain't quite the same as it was before
And I can see how you've been reared up tough, oh funny man
Smile for the camera take a hit and fall off
'Cause funny man I can't understand how you keep smiling
You know even the rain has got its days to keep that sun from shining
But your face just stays as rays until we turn away again
Well you could say the storm goes on forever
Or you could see the beauty in cloudy weather
I never see your pain 'cause you lock it away to keep it from them
I never hear you say any complaints it's always progress
And you're alright and I just need a moment of your precious time
Oh funny man, who do you turn to to get by
Who do you turn to to smile
And he turned to me
And he said
The cuts on my hand and the sweat down my back
Oh, the tan in my skin and the money in the bank
Sometimes I'm the only one for me to thank
But I still wouldn't say that I'm a self-made man
So I reach what I can't and I take what I can
When I fall down pick myself back up again
No shame in taking up a helping hand
And Funny man
Need a helping hand sometimes
You know even funny man cries
Funny man look at you you're all choked up
But my question is still the same as it was before
Just tell me what you do do to keep that peace and
Maybe the same stuff works for me
Well he said
The twelve strings of metal and a wooden guitar can take you far
Hard days of labor and an honest pay off keep the weight off
Not gonna lie tried a bottle and a dime from time to time
But you must remind that
You can't rewind for second tries
And now you know how I live my life
And that'd be fine if you saw the world through my eyes
But you've got your own and I've got mine
I've got no right to tell you how to live your life
'Cause after all its my first time
Well after all its our first time
Oh funny man look at you you've all grown up
And now my point of view ain't quite the same as it was
If I had everything that I wanted I know now I'd still be looking for more
'Cause pain needs love and peace needs war
Pain needs love and peace need war
Oh funny man wrote this chorus
Said it came to him early on one sleepless morning
And if you need a smile don't be afraid to ask him for it
Just return the favor if you can afford it
