The Joke
You're feeling nervous aren't you boy
- You're feeling nervous aren't you boy
- With your quiet voice and impeccable style
- Don't ever let them steal your joy
- And your gentle ways to keep 'em from running wild
- They can kick dirt in your face
- Dress you down and tell you that your place
- Is in the middle when they hate the way you shine
- I see you tugging on your shirt
- Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts
- Let 'em laugh while they can
- Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind
- I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends
- And the joke's on them
- You get discouraged don't you girl
- It's your brother's world for a while longer
- We gotta dance with the devil on a river
- To beat the stream
- Call it living the dream call it kicking the ladder
- They come to kick dirt in your face
- To call you weak and then displace you
- After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
- I saw your eyes behind your hair
- And you're looking tired but you don't look scared
- Let 'em laugh while they can
- Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind
- I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends
- And the joke's on them
- Let 'em laugh while they can
- Let 'em spin let 'em scatter in the wind
- I have been to the movies I've seen how it ends
- And the joke's on them

I’m impressed by your voice! Keep it up
😃
It's supposed to be an unwinding song yet now merely a regretful memory
It fits your voice perfectly
