♬ Ordinary Joe ♬
And for my opening line
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
I turn you on,
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
And bringing music when you hear it,
Keep on trying to get near it.
A little rhythm for your spirit
Oh but that's what it's for
Come on in, here's the door
And I've seen a sparrow get high And waste his time in the sky He thinks it's easy to fly He's just a little bit freer than I Down here on the ground When you find folks are giving you the runaround Keep your game uptight And if you must just take your secrets underground Now politicians are trying to speech you Mad colour watchers are trying to teach you Very few will really try to reach you If you're lost in a stack That's OK, come all black Now I'd be the last to deny That I'm just an average guy And don't you know each little bird in the sky Is just a little bit freer than I Hey ordinary Joe Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so What they think is real Is nothing but an animated puppet show So don't let time and space confuse you And don't let name and form abuse you Let that Big Joe Williams blues you In the light of the sun you can see how they burn And I've seen a sparrow get high And waste his time in the sky He thinks it's easy to fly He's just a little bit freer than I
