I’m Just A Clown
The circus is coming through
And everybody knows
That when you purchase a ticket
You expect to get a show
Take a look at me, I’m just a clown
And on my face I wear a frown
I’ve paid the cost to hang around
So take a look at me, I’m just a clown
The joker stands in the middle
And turns a trick for you
Because sometimes you know it’s better
To be thought of as a fool
Take a look at me, I’m just a clown
And on my face I wear a frown
I’ve paid the cost to hang around
So take a look at me, I’m just a clown
I’m just a clown, that’s what they say
I guess my clothes give me away
All of my friends have disappeared
You know it makes me wonder
If I was ever here
Take a look at me, I’m just a clown
And on my face I wear a frown
I’ve paid the cost to hang around
So take a look at me, I’m just a clown
I’m just a clown, take a look at me
I’m so lonesome I should charge a fee
I guess my clothes give me away
I’m just a clown, that’s what they say
I’m just a clown

I'm from Poland ... Amazing song..I love it

[@davidtaylor9408]

Hands down one of the greatest musicians I’ve ever heard, I love how he’s taking it back to the old school way and putting a new age twist to it

My self also

Damn, you need to listen to more music.

Out of south Texas, representing the valley. Yessir 👌🏾

[@dramaends]

60s jazz meets 70s funk meets country aesthetic? Yes please!

[@eramosat]

I have just now looked for this artist on KZbin, and I am blown away to see he is considered a country music artist!! Or rather, that he IS a country artist!! Well done. This is something completely different, and very gooood.

[@marquettegloves9907]

Charley's bringing real country back, one track at a time. Dope, and worth supporting...

[@andy13171]

Dude’s making it feel real. Wish I had discovered him sooner . I found out about him just 2 months ago and I can’t stop. So glad I can feel the excitement about a new album!

[@TylerSnyder305]

This one isn't quite country, but it's not far off and he certainly understands country music like almost nobody else these days claiming that's what they sing. I've got 8 of his albums so far I think, and am getting ready to preorder the man from Waco. His country music is the real deal, and his bluesy rhythm stuff like this is great too. I like how he doesn't really try to combine country with anything else, he may have some slightly different stuff on the same album but theres always a reason it's there and the country is always that very cut and dry true blue golden era sound.

[@sandaujosh]

Nothing explains “real country” music like the word “dope”

[@TylerSnyder305]

@@sandaujosh I thought that was a funny choice of word to describe it as well. I think one of the big problems with the mainstream southern pop and southern hip hop they're trying to pass as country today is the heavy influence of pop hip hop and rap music. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't belive anybody who listens to that stuff can truly appreciate and understand real country music, they just have nothing in common. People listen to that crap and for some reason think they need to combine it with country to reach a broader audience or connect with a younger crowd. Just let country be and people can either like country music or not, we don't need to dilute hank lefty and Ernest so it's easier for other crowds to get into.

He is a style of his own . Ole school baby! Nothing like it! Def better than new school

nah bro deserves so much more. bro deserves a spot on the throne with God himself the ways he’s not only saving country but music and it being a form of art as a whole. along with so many other good artists. aa bondy. sturgill simpson. so many more

Charley exudes a very rarefied style of storytelling it’s incomparable!

[@williamprotheroe875]

This dude is so much more than Country! Blues-Jazz-Americana-Folk Charley does it all and does it well! Just discovered him last when he was on Austin City Limits and now I'm hooked!

[@Auntkekebaby]

Amen

[@lonewizzard8456]

For sure. The true greats play a mix of various genres and make it their own.

[@wadeshad]

Master musician and vocalist. Look how effortlessly he plays up the neck. No capos for him! And not afraid to step out of old country with that exquisite blues jazz sound. Country pickers take note. Charlie is a genius songwriter singer who has a bright future. So glad i discovered him on my alt rock blues channel!

[@theherbpuffer]

Can't wait to buy the vinyl as I do with every Charley Crockett album.

I'm listening. When I purchase a ticket, I know that I'm getting greatness and the truth. Can't really trust this game but know that you got these songs, your creativity, respect for ALL music, and that voice! Built from the ground up! I feel you.

[@Auntkekebaby]

Charley has love and respect for all music. Some of the comments I read on these videos. He actually considers hip hop a form of folk music and it is. I agree as a person from NYC. Some of the current stuff is shitty but that doesn't mean that it isn't an art form. It's all beautiful roots music. He actually enhances styles and components that were already blended into so call country music. He's not a damn clown in a vacuum. He's way more than you think. Like most people. Stop using him to disrespect other forms of music. Just stop all that shit already. You're actually disrespecting his own background and beliefs. He didn't switch from bad music to good music. It's simply a broader appreciation for American roots music. It's ok if you don't like certain styles but some of the comments are code language for something else. You don't think that he feels that. Are yall really listening and feeling him?

One of the greatest songs of 2022 and that's tough competition. Reminds me of a George Carlin quote "When you're born, you're given a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat."
