Translation
Bilingual
I was born in a circus
But i ran away
Got tired of the traveling
And the meager pay
Got tired of the burning
From all the swallowing flames
And the sad eyes of all them jungle kings
Locked in their cage
I went and got married
But she left me broke
I went crying to the preacher
He said it's all a big joke
Says he looked for decades
And he don't think God's there
All he knows is bourbon
Is more potent than prayer
You don't know me from Adam
I don't know you from them bums on the street
So I won't tell you what you oughta do with your opinion
If you don't tell me what I should believe
I was born in a manger
On a starry night
I got the whole world up in arms
But I've been born ten times
I come from the great beyond
Ain't nothing there
All i know is your bourbon
Is more potent than your prayers
You don't know me from your messiah
I don't know you from them circus clowns
So you can talk and I'll be quiet
But i ain't gonna lift what you're laying down
No I ain't gonna lift what you're laying down
