where have all the honest people gone - charley crockett 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 may 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 honest people gone?
some pious people point and call me a 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
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 honest people gone?
and the government has given me a number
to simplify my birth and life and death
and still, somebody thinks i’m awful important
that’s enough if she’s all i got left
yeah, it’s funny i don’t fit
where have all the honest people gone?
it’s funny i don’t fit
where have all the honest people gone?
