Clever Disguise - Eliza Gilkyson

I am just a troubadour

A tried and true believer

If there’s nothing that I can live for

I don’t want to be here

I wear my heart on my shirtsleeve

And my dark glasses over my eyes

Clever disguise

Clever disguise

I’m just a roadside flower draped in a fancy dress

From my booth in the broadcasting tower

I send out my s.o.s

And when I reach into the breach

Of a wandering pair of eyes

I see a clever disguise

Clever disguise

I’m just a lonely freight train comin

Hummin round a hairpin bend

Tryin to keep my engines runnin

Til I reach some kind of rainbow’s end

I saw you there at the rally down at the city hall

And before you even reached your finale

I’d already started to fall

You say you’re just a prairie boy

Neither wealthy, worthy, nor wise

Clever disguise
