I’m Just A Clown
The circus is coming through
And everybody knows
That when you purchase a ticket
You expect to get a show
Take a look at me, I’m just a clown
And on my face I wear a frown
I’ve paid the cost to hang around
So take a look at me, I’m just a clown
The joker stands in the middle
And turns a trick for you
Because sometimes you know it’s better
To be thought of as a fool
Take a look at me, I’m just a clown
And on my face I wear a frown
I’ve paid the cost to hang around
So take a look at me, I’m just a clown
I’m just a clown, that’s what they say
I guess my clothes give me away
All of my friends have disappeared
You know it makes me wonder
If I was ever here
Take a look at me, I’m just a clown
And on my face I wear a frown
I’ve paid the cost to hang around
So take a look at me, I’m just a clown
I’m just a clown, take a look at me
I’m so lonesome I should charge a fee
I guess my clothes give me away
I’m just a clown, that’s what they say
I’m just a clown

I'm from Poland ... Amazing song..I love it
Hands down one of the greatest musicians I’ve ever heard, I love how he’s taking it back to the old school way and putting a new age twist to it
My self also
Damn, you need to listen to more music.
Out of south Texas, representing the valley. Yessir 👌🏾
Woah, i assumed when heard it on sirius, this was some hidden 70s gem i never heard before. Very cool song, i love older music but this is great.
Yes, me too.
He is a style of his own . Ole school baby! Nothing like it! Def better than new school
Charley just never disappoints.. the man does not miss.
See him live and you will become a bigger fan. Same with his buddies American Aquarium
I'm just a 🤡
True. Reminded me of Smokey Robinson in a way… But he wasn’t funny once.
when you['re as shitfaced as i am he's just a god damn saint, ilove hime so much cant wait to see him live
Is he still a clown? With a frown? …ugh.
The man deserves a Grammy for his work.
nah bro deserves so much more. bro deserves a spot on the throne with God himself the ways he’s not only saving country but music and it being a form of art as a whole. along with so many other good artists. aa bondy. sturgill simpson. so many more
I'd watch a movie based off this song.
Charley's bringing real country back, one track at a time. Dope, and worth supporting...
Dude’s making it feel real. Wish I had discovered him sooner . I found out about him just 2 months ago and I can’t stop. So glad I can feel the excitement about a new album!
This one isn't quite country, but it's not far off and he certainly understands country music like almost nobody else these days claiming that's what they sing.
I've got 8 of his albums so far I think, and am getting ready to preorder the man from Waco.
His country music is the real deal, and his bluesy rhythm stuff like this is great too.
I like how he doesn't really try to combine country with anything else, he may have some slightly different stuff on the same album but theres always a reason it's there and the country is always that very cut and dry true blue golden era sound.
Nothing explains “real country” music like the word “dope”
@@sandaujosh
I thought that was a funny choice of word to describe it as well.
I think one of the big problems with the mainstream southern pop and southern hip hop they're trying to pass as country today is the heavy influence of pop hip hop and rap music.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't belive anybody who listens to that stuff can truly appreciate and understand real country music, they just have nothing in common.
People listen to that crap and for some reason think they need to combine it with country to reach a broader audience or connect with a younger crowd.
Just let country be and people can either like country music or not, we don't need to dilute hank lefty and Ernest so it's easier for other crowds to get into.
@@TylerSnyder305 I agree with you
Charley exudes a very rarefied style of storytelling it’s incomparable!
Saw charley last night in Cheyenne Wyoming, gotta say guy is a true showman and knows how to make an audience lose their minds with his talent
Npom
Well, it was Cheyanne… besides a few super hot cowgirls in tight Wranglers, there ain’t much else goin’ on, eh?
Badass 👍😎👍
@@ritxymanueles7734 Huh?
@@blmrgtr as a Cheyenne resident, I want to be offended, but you're not wrong. We finally got a legit music venue to get acts like Charley.
60s jazz meets 70s funk meets country aesthetic? Yes please!
I have just now looked for this artist on RUclips, and I am blown away to see he is considered a country music artist!! Or rather, that he IS a country artist!!
Well done. This is something completely different, and very gooood.
Ain't it!
I love that this has a FM radio George Benson in the 70s orchestral vibe. Beautiful voice. Love this song.
Dude has no business being this talented
How am I just now finding Charley? Amazing artist!❤
Never in my life have i ever found an artist where i like every single song thats made, been following him for 2 years, and listen to him daily. Really hope he comes to my country to sing! Awesome work man!
Samesiez bro
The vocal layers in the chorus are just incredible
This dude is so much more than Country! Blues-Jazz-Americana-Folk Charley does it all and does it well! Just discovered him last when he was on Austin City Limits and now I'm hooked!
Amen
For sure. The true greats play a mix of various genres and make it their own.
Master musician and vocalist. Look how effortlessly he plays up the neck. No capos for him! And not afraid to step out of old country with that exquisite blues jazz sound. Country pickers take note. Charlie is a genius songwriter singer who has a bright future. So glad i discovered him on my alt rock blues channel!
He calls his sound Gulf and Western.
High quality music from a rare, one-of-a-kind artist.
so anyone can wear a cowboy hat and make mediocre music and is rare? lol
@@DazeyChaineMusic Maybe you should do it, hater 😉 Clearly you can't.... 🤣
@@DazeyChaineMusic Out of touch
LOL! You’re kidding, right?
@@DazeyChaineMusicDoesn't take much skill to tear others down.
Sweeeeet band.
One of the greatest songs of 2022 and that's tough competition. Reminds me of a George Carlin quote "When you're born, you're given a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat."
Love the old school sound. He puts a lot of heart and soul into it.
Just watched him in concert, already loved him but when he sends it live, holy shit!
This song really speaks to me because I myself am a clown by my own admission but the point is I know how it feels to be looked at or thought of as someone who is lower than the rest of society I really appreciate this song so thank you Charley
Sometimes it’s better to be thought of as a fool
Can't wait to buy the vinyl as I do with every Charley Crockett album.
Any time there's a blues solo. I am listening 🎧.
I'm listening. When I purchase a ticket, I know that I'm getting greatness and the truth. Can't really trust this game but know that you got these songs, your creativity, respect for ALL music, and that voice! Built from the ground up! I feel you.
Charley has love and respect for all music. Some of the comments I read on these videos. He actually considers hip hop a form of folk music and it is. I agree as a person from NYC. Some of the current stuff is shitty but that doesn't mean that it isn't an art form. It's all beautiful roots music. He actually enhances styles and components that were already blended into so call country music. He's not a damn clown in a vacuum. He's way more than you think. Like most people. Stop using him to disrespect other forms of music. Just stop all that shit already. You're actually disrespecting his own background and beliefs. He didn't switch from bad music to good music. It's simply a broader appreciation for American roots music. It's ok if you don't like certain styles but some of the comments are code language for something else. You don't think that he feels that. Are yall really listening and feeling him?
YES!!!
@@Auntkekebaby beautifully stated. I couldn't agree more.
i went to a festival in my town just to see him- everyone was good but i’ve loved this guy for 4 years now- this song & jamestown ferry we’re incredible to see irl
Just saw him open for Willie Nelson a month ago and man oh man can Charlie put on a show. I swear every single song sounded better live, it was an awesome experience!
Great lyric writing on this song!
Our family has had this song on repeat!!!
Same with us! Highly anticipating the new record
Well told my family.. but all day... Just keep playing this song.
Can't get better than a Man AND his GUITAR!!!
GOOD GOSH YA'LL ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS REAL! DO LOVE HIM AND SAW HIM WITH BILLY STRINGS WILLIE NELSON & HIS FAMILY ! IM SO BLESSED
Thank you Mr. Crockett, for giving us real music again.
It’s great to have real talent like this back!
This man is bringing back the true American music
My old roommate brought home a record of "this awesome guy" he saw in Nashville about 5 years ago. I've been hooked ever since. I gotta go see him
This song makes me want to get into a slo-mo, bloody bar fight. *Cracks bar stool over someone's back*
The man just can't stop making hits!
Absolutely love this song!! Has such a cool vibe to it!!
“Jukebox” Charley Crockett!
I wish this was an 8 minute ballad as well
This should have been in the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie. 🍿 💚
I was never much of a country music fan but boy does this guy rock ! Keep this jamming music coming Charley!
I would like to thank you Mr. Crockett for making a metal head finally appreciate country music
One of the few artists keeping real country music alive.
As a dude in a dress!!!
There's 4-5 other people with him who play different instruments. It's not just him; it's the whole band and his producer.
Decades from now we’re gonna have such wonderful conversations about the art Charley and Bobby have made with these music videos. Both wonderfully talented and hard working artists.
Listen man, I know great music when I listen to it and this is it. Raw talent, raw instruments, that is what true music is. It kinda reminds me of Motown a little bit so that says something.
Finest country artist of this generation. Can't wait to see him live one day
He was so good live!
@@angelaa362 that's what I keep hearing!
Amazing live show, energy unmatched
Gonna be in Denton, tx August 26
Gonna be in Charlotte, NC Sept 10th.
CHARLEY CROCKETT your music is amazing.
I thought this was from like 1970's, but turns out this is new AGE FUNK baby, From one clown to another, Great song
Love the lyrics and instrumental of this song...yea!!!✌️💗
His band is damn good also no bs
The man never stops working!!
You the man Charley!! 🐊
Charley is an absolute legend already. Knocks it out of the park every time!
This new music industry needs more classic sound like Charlie Crockett!!! AAAAA+🎶
I'm Going to See Charlie in June Can't WAIT👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My son is 2. Two years old. Every time Charley finishes a song he (my son) screams & claps. So there you have it.
Got so lucky this dude played a KILLER show for free in my hometown. This song was one of my favorites.
Man.. this guy on vinyl is like going back to the 60s.. smokey bars, riding bulls, and bar fights.
Man wish I could have seen him live at Stampede
I'm not buying a single because I purchase a whole Charley Crockett ALBUM
On VINYL
Saw him in Philly BB. He and the blue drifters are the real deal.
Just a clown . One of the baddest songs I've ever heard . And I need your love . He is true Ole school . This is real shit ! 100% talent . Anyone who don't like this needs there ears checked
Crockett is so great. Releases at least 2 great albums a year. He’s a beast and ultra cool!
Saw him open for Chris Stapleton last night and was an instant fan. One of a kind artist.
This is a song that hits a few genres at once and still has the Charley flair I’m loving this one so much
Thanks dude for make good music again.
It ain't much but from the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you for this song and performance! You can't imagine how much this means to me. I feel every second if this piece. Again to you and your band thank you very much.
I honestly don’t know how the man does it. And I don’t know how the rest of the world is missing out on it.
I'm new to this guy, but damn! Very impressed.
Classy, soul track. Lush string and brass. Epic fade out. More quality.
What a vibe!! 🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Just heard this on World Cafe, and, well, here I am! :)
This commercial instantly got me searching for this masterpiece!
Great show in Tahoe, see you next time you're nearby us here in reno! One of, if not the best show I've ever seen, you're the man!
“I find I have to be the sad clown. Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside.” -Tony Soprano
I always loved that quote/analogy but this song takes it to another level👌🏽
Love this song!!!!!
His style is something you need to see live if you ever get the chance! So much swagger😎🤠
I'm sure at least 1000 views are mine alone..
I play this all day in everyway in every place!!
Charlie I'll be seeing you in CA soon!!
I caught Charley for the first time at the Man From Waco tour ender at ACL Moody Theater a week ago and he was incredible. Met him pre-show at the VIP meet and greet where he played four songs on acoustic right on the floor in front of 50-75 of us or so. He loved my George Jones shirt and was cool as hell. Then he and the band put on one helluva show. Billy Strings was in attendance the night before. I love that they are friends and hope to see a colab one day as two of the best rising stars making phenomenal music in quite sometime.
Too cool!
This is one of those songs that can fit any grondra
Damn this man couldn’t make a bad song to save his life
Hall of Famer
MAN I love this guy !!
You Sir, are a gem!
This has to be the first time I actually look up a song I saw on an Instagram advert.
I love the tone of his voice....
Hello Lora 👋 how are you ??
He lets the bass in his voice ring like a man. Not like this pop stars called country artists today. Cut from the same cloth as cash, jennings, Hanks Williams Jr. And the likes.
Thank you for suggesting this great great singer RUclips!!! 💕
This is a great song! I'm impressed!
I’ve been the clown a time or two.paid the price.I’m still standing.
First time listening to him I will be listening a lot more great talent
Can’t wait to see him when he comes to Seattle!!
Nobody is putting out good music at the pace CC is doing it - dude is a legend already 👍
Outstanding. I’ve had the privilege to see him play live three times. He and his band do not disappoint. Real deal.
I'm seeing him for the 2nd time this year. He's opening for Willie at Central Park in September.
Great stuff! I’m here because John Mayer gave a shout out. Glad he did.
Houston, TX here! Can't wait to see Charley in New Braunfels this month!!
Excellent! Charley never ever lets you down. Can't wait to see you in Chattanooga!
Much respect
Keeping the vibe and attitude of old country alive. Music is dope man.
What a song 🎵
Charley Crokett is the gift that keeps on giving. Keep crushing it brother. Your the man.
Bill Withers vibe for sure. Another great tune Charley! Keep it up!
Hi Charley; you doin a fantastic work. I am a fan fron Cali, and I am really looking forward to see your upcoming show, Santa Barbara. God Bless you in your future; you comin way up, with no limit in sight.
