All Kinds Of Kinds - Miranda Lambert

Ilsa was an acrobat who

went and fell in love with that

Horatio the human cannonball.

A wedding neath the big top tent with

barkers clowns and elephants

Sideshow family oddities and all.

The dog-faced boy

howled out with joy

As the tattooed lady was crying.

Ever since the beginning

to keep the world spinning

It takes all kinds of kinds.

Thomas was a congressman

with closets full of skeletons

And dresses that

he wore on Friday nights.

Phyllis was a pharmacist a dab

of that a pinch of this

Concocted to suppress her appetite.

When the children were fiddlin

she d slip em some Ritalin

And wait for Thomasina to arrive.

Cause ever since the beginning

to keep the world spinning

It takes all kinds of kinds.

All kinds of kinds.

When I play this old guitar from

children s shows to smoky bars

I take a break and

think about the past.

When I stood up in geometry

and everybody stared at me

And I tossed my test

into the trash.

I scratched off my number

while hitching out under

That bush league population sign.

Ever since the beginning

to keep the world spinning

It takes all kinds of kinds.

Now some point a finger

and let ignorance linger

If they d look in the

mirror they d find.

That ever since the beginning

to keep the world spinning

It takes all kinds of kinds.

All kinds of kinds.

All kinds of kinds.
