Ordinary Joe
For my openin' line
I might try to indicate my state of mind
Or turn you on
And tell you that I'm laughin'
Just to keep from cryin'
Pretty music, when you hear it
Keep on tryin' to get near it
A little rhythm for your spirit
But that's what it's for
C'mon in here's the door
I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just little bit freer than I
Now here's a mystery
Maybe you can help to make it clear to me
When you're fast asleep
Then what is it that's lightin' up the dreams you see
All your tears can't conceal it
All your prayers may not reveal it
You got soul so you can feel it
And when you make the scene
Then you'll know what I mean
Now I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just little bit freer than I
Down here on the ground
When you fine folks are givin' you the run-arround
Keep your game up tight
And if you must just take your secrets underground
Politicians are trying to speech you
Mad color watchers will try to teach you
Very few will really try to reach you
You get lost in the flack
But that's ok come on back
Now I'd be the last to deny
That I'm just an average guy
And each little bird in the sky
Is just a little bit freer than I
So Ordinary Joe, although they say you're just a lazy so and so
What they think is real
Ain't nothing but an animated puppet show
So don't let time and space confuse you
And don't let name and form abuse you
Let Big Joe Williams blues you
In the light of the sun you can see how they run
I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
Now don't you know he thinks it's easy to fly
He's just little bit freer than I
