Lyrics Jerry Jeff Walker

Jerry Jeff Walker

Round And Round

Round and round, and everything keeps tumblin' down

Make a sideway move till you're standing at the edge of town

'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around

How many times must we play the game of hide and seek between ourselves

Speak about ideals passed on from somebody else

While actually the truth is only what you do

When you consider and then be honest to yourself and no one else

Round and round, and everything keeps tumblin' down

Make a sideway move till you're standing at the edge of town

'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around

Now life is strange when you think about the paradoxes we all live around

Teach the young to love their neighbor but make sure that they grow up

Love's just a game we play to occupy our time

While everybody turns aside and hides their eyes and what's inside

Round and round, and everything keeps tumblin' down

Make a sideway move till you're standing at the edge of town

'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around

Now what's the good of the life you've seen if no one's hungry for your lines

You can write a poem or song to amuse your mind

But relationships you need can only come

From those who have no clothes but they can take it

Without the fear of living naked

Round and round, and everything keeps tumblin' down

Make a sideway move till you're standing at the edge of town

'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around
