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 |
| Wasting time in the sky |
| He thinks it’s easy to fly |
| He’s just a little bit freer than I |
| [Verse 2: Terry Callier |
| Down here on the ground |
| When you find folks are giving you the runaround |
| Get your game uptight |
| And if you must just take your secrets underground |
| 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 on back |
| Now I’d be the last to deny |
| That I’m just an average guy |
| Each little bird in the sky |
| Is just a little bit freer than I |
| Say, 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 |
| Well let Big Joe Williams blues you |
| In the light of the sun you can see how they run |
| Oh I’ve seen a sparrow get high |
| Wasting time in the sky |
| He thinks it’s easy to fly |
| He’s just a little bit freer than I |
