	Lyrics Don't Let The World Get You Down © 2002 by Jim Savarino In a run down hospital in Wheeling West Virginia I was born one early Autumn day Spied by a visitor who always wanted children She walked in and carried me away My parents sure were excited When they came for me and found that I was gone Though my father was secretly delighted It didn't show, he never did let on The hospital staff they were sorry But you know these things happen now and then Make the best of a bad situation Make another baby, come back again Chorus Don't let the world get you down Put on a happy face, throw away that frown Cut it all loose and paint the town Don't let the world get you down My childhood turned out pretty normal My new mom always did her best you know Yes I grew up in the circus Movin' town to town with every show I learned to be a little clown With a smile painted over my perpetual frown But the audience never noticed They just laughed at my buttons and gown Chorus Seven years later we played Wheeling When a face in the crowd stopped me cold I stared in the eyes of my father He looked like I would look when I was old He said "Hey, could you be my lost descendent? That child of mine was gone since he was born? So many years I've wasted Lookin' for my rose among the thorns." Chorus My dad and I we bought a trailer Dragged it out to Big Wheeling Creek Most days we sit there fishin' Helps us to think before we speak And I know my dad is getting older That's ok, I'm getting older too My life has come full circle There's nothin' left that I'm supposed to do Chorus
