time for a country song

lonesome parade
--------------------------

saturday night and you ain't got no body
leaning in close to tell you sweet lies
you sit at your notebook and write up a story
only trouble is the end won't be a surprise
come on down sailor don't be afraid
shine up your shoes for the lonesome parade

in the lonesome parade you're the only attraction
no one is watching so there'll be no distraction
come on down pal to the lonesome parade

another winter passing as cold as the last
for warmth there's always that blanket from sears
you stumble your futures as you live in the past
like grain through a goose, well there goes the years
so get off your lowdown and cut the charade
and run yourself downtown to the lonesome parade

sunday morning wake up why put the coffee on
life's bitter enough in its own drippy grind
you figured it out and you got it all wrong
it's venus's rapture and you're the left behind
well since you've given up all those plans that you made
why not come on down for the lonesome parade

in the lonesome parade you're the only attraction
no one is watching so there'll be no distraction
come on down pal to the lonesome parade
