I Just Came To Smell The Flowers Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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 anyplace 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 use 

Where one smile cost at least a million tears 

Look in for my past in the bottom of a glass 

The only place I've looked for 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 while you lie still 

Too weak to stand and just not enough man to join the race 

So I just came to smell the flowers...
