Lyrics The Only Show in Town - Jesse Winchester

The Only Show in Town

Maybe life is just put on for show
Oh, but it’s the only show in town
It don’t cost a nickel to get in
Oh, but you’ll pay dear to hang around
Maybe love’s a joke you heard before
Still it makes you laugh until you cry
Laugh until you’re rolling on the floor
Till the tears are streaming from your eyes
Oh, la la la la …
Maybe love’s a joke you heard before
Still it makes you laugh until you cry
So tell me that old story once a day
Every day until the day I die
Oh, la la la la …
Maybe life is just put on for show
Oh, but it’s the only show in town
It don’t cost a nickel to get in
Oh, but you’ll pay, dear, to hang around
Oh, but you’ll pay, dear, to hang around, oh yeah
Oh, but you’ll pay, dear, to hang around, yes, you will
Oh, but you’ll pay, dear, to hang around, hey hey
