i never cared for people
they’re brutal and unreal
i like to stay alone
in my trailer by the ferris wheel
i work as a carny
with a girl name of peg
she likes to carve her name into my wooden leg
just before i’m half past dead
hammer a nail into my big block head
put me on a stage as a rock n roll clown
and send me off to gibson town
i prefer the face of strangers if they're quiet and kind
those who do not fit
been left out and left behind
i once tried to fit in
all i got was stuck
now i’m old and i just don’t give a fuck
when i die don’t bury me
scatter my ashes neath the dogwood tree
sing a song and dance around
and send me off to gibson town
when i die don’t bury me
scatter my ashes neath the dogwood tree
salute me with a beer and song
leave me here to gibson town
