1970
3
Straight-laced leather-faced he rolled
4
In like he owned the two-bit town
5
Dollar bills bulging from his bell-bottomed jeans
6
The population they gathered 'round
7
Nothing this exciting since a fertilizer truck
8
Blew a front tire and landed in the creek
9
Everybody talkin' everybody strainin'
10
Tryin' to get a little peek
11
Chorus:
12
It's just the world they'll never know
13
Not a country fair side show
14
Reality they'll somehow never see
15
He's what they've tried to kill
16
With their Bibles and their stills
17
But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free
18
Payin' for the gas he wickedly shouted thanks
19
And continued on his journey all once again
20
Just about the time a siren fast-approached and
21
The pot bellied sheriff he whizzed right in
22
With his self inflicted grammar started shoutin'
23
Accusations at the long haired greasy looking ape
24
While a local D.J. from the fifty watt station got
25
The whole damn thing on tape
26
Chorus:
27
It's just the world they'll never know
28
Not a country fair side show
29
Reality they'll somehow never see
30
He's what they've tried to kill
31
With their Bibles and their stills
32
But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free
33
The holy roller preacher told the eager congregation
34
That the devil had passed right through their nest
35
But the teenage girls with their locks in curls were
36
A talkin' 'bout that hair upon his chest
37
Now the kids got their cookies while the preacher
38
Saved some souls and the story spread to everyone in sight
39
Commotion was the word and everybody heard
40
He was gone before the night
41
Chorus:
42
It's just the world they'll never know
43
Not a country fair side show
44
Reality they'll somehow never see
45
He's what they've tried to kill
46
With their Bibles and their stills
47
But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free
