Lyrics
Inside the pocket of a clown
Is a sad place to hang around
Just watching smiles turn into frowns
Inside the pocket of a clown
Inside the heartache of a fool
You'll learn things they don't teach in school
And lessons there can be real cruel
Inside the heartache of a fool
Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes
Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes
Inside a memory from the past
Lives every love that didn't last
And sweet dreams can start to fade real fast
Inside a memory from the past
Is a real sad place to hang around
Inside the pocket of a clown

Dwight is the true meaning of real country music. I love him!!!.

[@ponkachonka]

What an all time classic, there's no mistaken the brilliant voice of Dwight Yockam, simply tremendous.

[@DianeHires-w5h]

His videos with his music just make my heart happy

[@maryward6282]

Country music does not get any better than Dwight. Magnificent voice!!!!

[@dereka3341]

Truth be told, I'm not a country music fan. But, I make exceptions for Dwight Yoakam, Johnny Cash, Kentucky Head Hunters and Alabama. I've seen Dwight Yoakam in concert two times. He puts on a heck of a show. And, its loud. There are no doubts on when Dwight Yoakam is performing. His catalog of songs is vast! If I get a third chance to see D.Y. in concert, I will be going.

[@keithessary3076]

Actually, you're a true country fan! Not the radio crap they play today, although, I'll say the new country ladies aren't afraid to do their own thing, but the "guys?" All the same 'ol thing, forgettable is being too kind

[@williamseale971]

There a few that can reach multiple generations. This guy is a classic.

[@vivmoriarty3717]

An utter genius. A national treasure. A talent beyond measure.

[@richardroetling5642]

Thank you! American Treasure was my words too in old comments. If there's higher accolades I don't know what that would be.

[@DP-wi6hm]

Such absolute brilliant writing. Dwight will be around long after all the pop country crap burns out.Because its real, thats why. Dwights music is real & timeless.

[@helenastokes3694]

Hope you had a good Christmas Dwight and family. Love your music.xx❤

[@MegaSister22]

This one is by far is my favourite although at times it's tough to pick one!!! Dwight has a unique sound that noone else has !!!

[@Jake-jc6xs]

Love me some Dwight!!! Took the wife to the show in Spokane a few months ago, 4th concert of the summer, and by far the best.

[@dereka3341]

Literally, I'm just getting home from a Dwight Yoakam performance. Concert was good. He played all his hits and made tributes to Merle Haggard and Buck Owens.

[@marklowe5939]

Yup awesome show!!!

[@richardlusk1715]

I had the privilege to see Dwight with Deana Carter,at the time the amphitheater in Greenville S.C.was new .they performed first.it was so loud every drumbeat would pierce thru you.it was Awesome.best concert ever.when he plays live it's much much better than the radio

[@johngusdon3537]

Where have I been -- rather must have had my eyes closed, lazily wasting this life of mine. Never heard this song before and it was released 29 years ago. Just fabulous -- and so damn much better than 99% of music one hears today. What a great writer, singer, and what a beautiful video!!!

[@garysanterre8611]

pure genius, great music, fine lyrics...what a combo

[@helenastokes3694]

Love this song by Dwight, and everything he sings.xx❤❤

[@socorrohoffman8549]

I have a recurring dream about him. It's beautiful music, even the sad ones. That's what country music is. Dwight Yokam forever, the musician and the actor. ❤😊

I had the priviledge of Seeing the Delightful Dwight perform this song in person, at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney last night. Let me tell you, the joint was jumpin!

First time I heard this one but I love it! Dwight Yoakam is SO underrated it's mindboggling! I have loved "Guitars, Cadillacs" "Honky Tonk Man" and "Streets of Bakersfield" since I was a toddler, how is he not more well known?!

[@cuty4allan]

"Inside the heartache of a fool You'll learn things they don't teach in school And lessons there can be real cruel Inside the heartache of a fool" Yes, Dwight is a true poet, and even more important Dwight writes from his heart. Who has not felt this way? Dwight has the talent(gift) and courage to put his feelings into words.♥

[@willyboy6126]

...which is why we can relate with him : )

Cher Baker So MOST composers don’t write about feelings from their heart? I beg to differ.
