Where Have All The Average People Gone - Roger Miller cover on clawhammer banjo

"Where Have All The Average People Gone?" is a great song about being a person who seems to be somewhere in the middle of the masses of people. It was written by Dennis Linde but made famous by, one of my favorites, Roger Miller, best known for his song "King of the Road".

Performed on a Deering Boston banjo with maple neck & resonator

Lyrics:
The fightin' men may say that I am a coward because I won’t push anyone around
Gentle people call me troublemaker cause I'll always fight and stand my ground
Funny I don't fit where have all the average people gone

Some pious people point and call me sinner because to them I've never seen the light
Other folks think of me as a preacher I'm just doin' what I think is right
Yes it's funny I don't fit tell me where have all the average people gone

The wealthy people think that I am a hobo lean and hungry writin' mornful songs
And the poor poor people think I am a rich man but really I'm just tryin' to get along
Yes it's funny I don't fit tell me where have all the average people gone
