Straight-laced leather-faced he rolled in like he owned the
two-bit town


Dollar bills bulging from his bell bottomed jeans
The population they gathered 'round
Nothing this exciting since a fertilizer truck

Blew a front tire and landed in the creek

Everybody talkin' everybody strainin'

Tryin' to get a little peek
It's just the world they'll never know
Not a country fair side show

Reality they'll somehow never see
He's what they've tried to kill
With their Bibles and their stills

But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free

Payin' for the gas he quickly shouted thanks

And continued on his journey once again
Just about the time a siren fast approached and
The pot bellied sheriff he whizzed right in

With his self inflicted grammar started shoutin'
Accusations at the long haired greasy looking ape
While a local DJ from the fifty watt station got the

whole damn thing on tape

It's just the world they'll never know

Not a country fair side show
Reality they'll somehow never see
He's what they've tried to kill

With their Bibles and their stills
But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free


The holy roller preacher told the eager congregation
That the devil has passed right through their nest
But the teenage girls with their locks in curls were

A talkin' 'bout that hair upon his chest
Now the kids got their cookies while the preacher
Saved some souls and the story spread to everyone in sight

Commotion was the word and everybody heard
He was gone before the night


It's just the world they'll never know
Not a country fair side show
Reality they'll somehow never see

He's what they've tried to kill
With their Bibles and their stills
But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free
