John Prine – That's The Way That The World Goes 'round lyrics

Album: Bruised Orange

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.

Sitin 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 thaught it was a joke

thats the way that the world goes round

Corus 5x
