Where Have All The Average People Gone

The people in this city call me country Because of how I walk and talk and smile Well, I don't mind them laughing in the city But the country folks all say I'm citified The fighting men they say that I'm a coward Because I never push no one around Gentle people call me trouble maker 'Cause I'll always fight and stand my ground Funny I don't fit Where have all the average people gone? Some pious people point and call me sinner Because to them I've never seen the lights Other folks think of me as a preacher I'm just doing what I think is right The wealthy people think that I am a hobo Lean and hungry, writing mournful songs And the poor, poor people think I am a rich man But really, I'm just trying to get along Yes, it's funny I don't fit Tell me where have all the average people gone? And the government has given me a number To simplify my birth and life and death And still my woman thinks I'm awful important Like the moon and the sun and the sea and the sky and breath Yes, it's funny I don't fit Where have all the average people gone? Funny I don't fit Where have all the average people gone? --- Where Have All the Average People Gone - Roger Miller
