Lyrics

Well, in 1941 a happy father had a son
And by 1944 the father walked right out the door
And in '45 the mom and son were still alive
But who can tell in '46 if the two were to survive
Well, the years were passing quickly but not fast enough for him
So he closed his eyes 'til '55 then opened them up again
And he looked around and saw a clown and the clown seemed very gay
He said, "I'd like to join that circus clown and run away"
Well, he followed every railroad track and every highway sign
And he had a girl in each new town and the towns he left behind
And the open road was the only road he knew
And the color of his dreams were slowly turning into blue
Then he met a girl, the kind of girl he'd wanted all his life
She was soft and kind and good to him so he took her for his wife
And they got a house not far from town and in a little while
The girl had seen a doctor and she came home with a smile
And in 1961 the happy father had a son
By 1964 the father walked right out the door
And in '65 mom and son were still around
But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?
