Lyrics:
The people in this city call me country
Because of how I walk and talk and smile
Well, I don't mind them laughing in the city
But the country folks all say I'm citified
The fighting men they say that I'm a coward
Because I never push no one around
Gentle people call me trouble maker
'Cause I'll always fight and stand my ground
Funny I don't fit
Where have all the average people gone?
Some pious people point and call me sinner
Because to them I've never seen the lights
Other folks think of me as a preacher
I'm just doing what I think is right
The wealthy people think that I am a hobo
Lean and hungry, writing mournful songs
And the poor, poor people think I am a rich man
But really, I'm just trying to get along
Yes, it's funny I don't fit
Tell me where have all the average people gone?
And the government has given me a number
To simplify my birth and life and death
And still my woman thinks I'm awful important
Like the moon and the sun and the sea and the sky and breath
Yes, it's funny I don't fit
Where have all the average people gone?
Funny I don't fit
Where have all the average people gone?

Today are the loves of self boastful full of pride. Life was really quieter an better when we had Roger Jim Reeves an the rest

Excellent song! Tells a lot about how I have felt most of my life.

What a timeless song! Kind of fits me. Rather get the sense that I don't really fit in any where...don't seem to fit in on either side.

The lyrics to this song are just fantastic!! It just proves that there is no middle ground. You are either good or bad, and all of the other things he pointed out. Thank you for uploading this.

He wrote this in, I would assume, the 1970s. Despite 50 years of time, the essence of this song seems to stand even now. It makes one wonder, have the average people ever existed, at all, anywhere?

@@volvodude101 Lots of average people exist. My question is why do some people have the ability to write, sing, perform amazing stuff that will last for decades? I'm glad that they do.

I think that's the opposite of what he's saying. There is a middle ground, and people need to stop being so ridiculously absolutist about everything.
