The Crowd

Artist: Roy Orbison (peak Billboard position # 26 in 1962)
Words and Music by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson


I go out with the crowd, I play the game
Pretending out loud but it donâ??t seem the same
For the heart of the crowd is gone from sight
My part of the crowd is not with me tonight

I remember the prom, every dance with you
All the crazy things that we used to do
Sometimes weâ??d wait for a chance
And then weâ??d steal away
From the crowd and the dance to our hideaway

Aww, but youâ??re gone and itâ??s not the same old game
I fall apart each time I hear your name
Guess Iâ??ll go along with the crowd, Iâ??ll make believe
That youâ??ll come back to me, run back to me
Hurry back to the crow-ow-ow-owd a-and me-e-e-e-e.
