Pocket of a Clown

Dwight Yoakam

Inside a 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 eye 

Inside a memory from the past 
Lives every love that didn't last 
And sweet dreams can start to fade real fast 
Inside the memory from the past   Inside a 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 eye 

Inside a memory from the past 
Lives every love that didn't last 
And sweet dreams can start to fade real fast 
Inside the memory from the past
