A Sense Of Humor Lyrics - Singles - David Allan Coe

By David Allan Coe 

Every night another woman 

Every day a different town 

If I'm not accused of speeding 

I'm accused of coming down 

With a legal dose of something 

That you heard was going 'round 

And you wondered why I lost my sense of humor 

Every song another record 

Every day just like a clock 

Knowing well I've had to take it 

Till I make it to the top 

With the devil right behind me 

And my heart about to stop 

Then you wondered why I lost my sense of humor 

Twenty years I was in prison 

More than that I was alone 

Some lily-white reporter 

Thinks it's time that I was stoned 

Without sin, he wrote the story 

And it chilled me to the bone 

Then he wondered why I lost my sense of humor 

I shaved my beard and cut my hair off 

It don't matter anyhow 

It was truth that told the answers 

To the questions up till now 

"Crucify him," someone shouted 

From the safety of the crowd 

Then they wondered why I lost my sense of humor 

Hey, take them crosses from my doorstep 

There's no reason to my rhyme 

Everybody knows somebody 

Will take care of me in time 

I made friends of all you stand for 

But the blind can't lead the blind 

Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor 

Just be glad I haven't lost my sense of humor 

'Cause if I ever catch you I'm gonna kick your ass
