Reinvent the Wheel

Alabama · When It All Goes South [2001]

(B.Crisler-W.Aldridge)



Seems like everywhere I look

There's another version of the same old book

And someone telling me it's new

Every song on my radio

Sounds like one I heard a long time ago

Different windows, same old view.



Yeah

Uh-huh.



All the clothes in the magazines

I could swear I've already seen

In my closet years ago

Hairstyles and super-malls

You've seen one well you've seen them all

Tell me something I don't know.



But in a world that's mostly imitation

It's hard to recognize the real

It takes a brave heart to resist temptation

To take the easy way and reinvent the wheel.



Yeah.



A friend of mine finds Mr. Right

Every other Friday night

At a smoky singles bar

And she can't seem to understand

Why life don't go like she plans

She goes on wishing on a star.



Yeah.



But in a world that's mostly imitation

It's hard to recognize the real

It takes a brave heart to resist temptation

To take the easy way and reinvent the wheel.



But in a world that's mostly imitation

It's hard to recognize the real

It takes a brave heart to resist temptation

To take the easy way and reinvent the wheel.



Reinvent the wheel

Reinvent the wheel...
