Funny Man - Rodney Carrington

He's got jokes a million dollar style

A stage a story he can make the crowd roar

Yea he sure knows how to make a man smile

He'll put on a wig or he'll dance a jig

Everyone for miles

Come to sit laugh when the funny man smiles

A full house tonight he's got em laughing out loud

He sings them a song 'bout his crazy mom

Thanks them for coming out

When he leaves the stage his mind drifts away

To his wife his kids good times

When he's all alone the funny man cries

It ain't funny no more says the funny man

This life I'm longing for

Is a house that's built on sinking sand

Where's the laughter happy ever after I just don't understand

There's nothin' sadder than tears of a funny man

A house in the hills a 4 car parking garage

His face on the tv lord it hasn't been easy

But he's finally at the top

But his family who loves him they stayed in tulsa

They visit every once in a while

Lately that's the only time that the funny man smiles

On tuesday morning he wakes up locks his house up tight

Aims his pickup toward that oklahoma line

He says it ain't funny no more I'm headed home

This life I'm longing for the soccer games fishin' poles

I've been missin' my little boys kisses I finally understand

Through the tears that he still cries

The funny man smiles

And the funny man drives
