Round And Round Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Round and round and everything keeps tumblin' down 

Make a sideways move 

Till you're standin' at the edge of town 

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

Now how many times must we play this 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 

With yourself and nobody else 

Round and round and everything keeps tumblin' down 

Make a sideways move 

Till you're standin' 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 

Well, teach the young to love their neighbors 

But make sure that they grow up 

Well, love's just a game 

We play to occupy our time 

While everybody turns aside 

Hides their eyes with what's inside 

Round and round and everything keeps tumblin' down 

Make a sideways move 

Till you're standin' at the edge of town 

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

Now what's the good of this life you've seen 

If no one's hungry for your lines? 

Oh, you can write a poem or song 

To amuse your mind 

But relationships we need 

Can only come from those who got no clothes 

But they can take it 

Without the fear of living naked 

Round and round and everything keeps tumblin' down 

Make a sideways move 

Till you're standin' at the edge of town 

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

Yeah, everything in this world keeps bringing you down 

Everything in this world keeps bringing you down
