Artist/Band: Porter Wagoner
Lyrics for Song: I Just Came To Smell The Flowers
Lyrics for Album: Confessions of a Broken Man (RCA Victor) [1966]



(Vic McAlpin)



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 crying 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 laughs 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 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 crying loud

Just seems to be the place I love the best...
