The Medicine Show

Ive got a Page One story buried in my yard
Ive got a troubled mind
Im going down to the medicine show
If Ive got to choose between doing penance
And doing time
Im going down to the medicine show
Ive got a one way ticket on the 8:06
To the outskirts of town
Im going down to the medicine show
And Ill say, 'hey conductor
Now dontcha stop until you hear that gypsy sound
Im going down to the medicine show
But I know that its hard to be a reasonable man
When you stop finding reasons for everything
But tonight Ill get some answers
Down at the medicine show
Im gonna find me that gypsy girl
That likes to dance and cry
When I go down to the medicine show
And were gonna lay our burden down
Beneath that lonesome gypsy sky
When I go down to the medicine show
