I just came to smell the flowers here in someone's darkest hour I don't even know the one they've laid to rest But anywhere there's a crowd and anywhere they're cryin' loud Just seems to be the place I love the best Surrounded by the blues in a place that losers choose Where one smile cost at least a million tears Look into my past in the bottom of a glass The only place I've looked in many years Now the ground don't seem so very low when you're down about as far as you can go And it's pretty hard to smile while the whole world laugh in your face And with no will left to live the world moves fast where you lie still Too weak to stand and just not enough woman to join the race So I just came to smell the flowers...
