Lyrics Old Man Markley

Old Man Markley

In A Circle Going Round

Crossing roads, cutting lines

Getting caught up doing time

Coming through to drop the ball

Getting up after a fall

Just to drop back down

In a circle, going 'round

Turning pages, getting lost

Chasing paper at any cost

Pouring wages in a glass

Celebrate the good times past

To piss 'em on the ground

I'm in a circle, going 'round

You're never gonna set the world on fire

If you don't keep your nose to the grindstone

Fruit is so much sweeter when you pick it off the tree

You can't let the grass grow up around your feet

So much time has come to pass

(Since the time that we played last)

Things were said

(Tears were shed)

And we parted ways

In hopes for better days

Still in a circle, going 'round

You've got to climb the mountain if you wanna see the view

Don't get hung up on the roads that you didn't choose

Can't let the weight of the world bring you down

'Cause we're all in this together, in a circle going 'round
