That's The Way That The World Goes Round

John Prine · Other Songs - John Prine

Hahaha- I got glue on my string.



I know a guy thats got alot to lose

he's a pretty nice fella,

kinda confused.

got muscles in his head,

never been used.

thinks he owns half of this town.

starts drinkin heavy,

gets a big red nose.

beats his old lady with a rubber hose

then he takes her out to dinner

buys her new clothes



thats the way that the world goes round



Thats the way that the world goes round

up one day the next your down

its a half an inch of water and you think your gonna drown

thats the way that the world goes round.



Sittin' in the bathtub countin' my toes

when the radiator broke the water all froze

i got stuck in the ice without any clothes

naked as the eyes of a clown

i was cryin ice cubes hopin' i'd croke

when the sun come throught the window the ice all broke

stood up and laughed thought it was a joke



thats the way that the world goes round



Chorus 5x
