New Riders of the Purple Sage
It’s OK To Cry
Fuentes-Gauthier-Valentino
Joey's in his top hat
Looking like an alley cat
Whetting all the kiddies' appetites
Isn't he a dream?
No he's only flirting
Look at how he swaggers
Up and down the sidewalk
Everybody sees he really
Isn't what he seems
No, he's really hurting
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
Dodging all the bullets
Leaping over rooftops
Working out his two-step
Brushing off his over-shoes
Thought he was the only
He couldn't find a girlfriend
Took a right [lens]
And found a little bar
With a bit of something he could use
He was feeling lonely
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
Like an old tom cat
Couldn't show his face
Till his wounds are healed
Joey had to skip on this whole rat race
'Cause he got a dirty deal
But when the next full moon rises above
That backstreet battleground
You'll find Joey strutting in the back
Acting like he's safe and sound
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
(You know you don't have to be so tough)
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
(It's OK for a man to cry now)
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
(It's OK for a man to cry now)
