lyrics
Sinners 'n' Freaks - lyrics by Jesse Dunn (Dead Winter Carpenters)
It gets a little breezy on the wagon
Pretty soon you’re comin’ down with a cough
I think it’s about time I pack my bag and
Wave fare thee well and jump right off
Sometimes you’re dancin’ on the ceiling
Sometimes you’re face down in the mud
Oh mama, I’ve got this feeling
I sure don’t know which way is up
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
The ramblin’ gambler lost out at sea
The brokenhearted cast out to the streets, please
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
Playin’ hopscotch on the straight and narrow
Zig zaggin’ on that ol’ white line
I’ve heard it told that too much of anything
Can make any honest man go blind
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
The ramblin’ gambler lost out at sea
The brokenhearted cast out to the streets, please
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
