The Greatest Show On Hurt

Lyrics

[Refrain] Step right up, ladies and gentlemen Step this way The greatest show on hurt Nine to three this morning Step up and see Tommy McLain's show [Verse 1] Come one, come all See the greatest show on hurt I've practiced for so long I'm the greatest act on earth There's a showing in this town Every night from nine 'til three If you wanna see the greatest show Step right up, that's me [Chorus] And see me swim this whiskey river With no life vest at all Sit and watch me while I cry One million teardrops fall And catch me when I stumble And fall down to the ground Be sure to tell all of your friends The greatest show's in town [Refrain] This way, ladies and gentlemen Step this way Come one, come all The greatest show on hurt Step up and see Tommy McLain's show [Verse 2] If it's a fast one that you want I'll still sing it blue After all this heartache That's the best that I can do Drop a dollar in the tip jar Hear me lay it down Welcome to this circus I'm the brokenhearted clown And up here in the spotlight Hoping you won't see Hiding in the shadows Is where I'd rather be Still I sing my story Even while the tears begin And come this time tomorrow night I'll do it all again [Chorus] Come one, come all And see the greatest show on hurt I've practiced for so long I'm the greatest act on earth There's a showing in this town Every night from nine 'til three If you wanna see the greatest show Step right up, that's me [Refrain] This way, ladies and gentlemen Step this way Come one, come all The greatest show on hurt
