Little Homeless Clown / a poem by Will Dockery

The sign on the door read enter at your own risk.
Too many times now betrayed by the Judas kiss.
My baby rode by in a brand new pickup truck.
She waved goodbye, blew me a kiss for luck.
So I been out rambling shambling through the trailer park 'til dawn.
She was frozen in the hall like headlines on a fawn.
Give me another run before the sun goes down.
Give me another hit my little... homeless clown.

All alone in this big old house again.
Harangued by all my so-called friends.
Well it's too late now she's riding with the wind.
Just last week she said she'd stick by me to the end.
Ain't no crystal ball but I can feel it in the back of my bones.
She got a sugar daddy she ain't never coming home.
Give me another run before the sun goes down.
Give me another hit my little.. homeless clown.

I could tell she was lonely, it just wasn't for me,
She's got a little hankering to be a divorcee.
Give me another run,before the sun goes down.
Give me another hit my little... homeless clown.
