That's The Way That The World Goes 'round Lyrics - Bottom Line [1978 New York Broadcast] - John Prine

I know a guy that's got a lot to lose 

He's a pretty nice fellow, kinda confused 

Got muscles in his head, ain't never been used 

Thinks he own half of this town 

Starts drinking 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 

That's the way that the world goes 'round 

That's the way that the world goes 'round 

You're up one day, the next you're down 

It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown 

That's the way that the world goes 'round

I was sitting in the bathtub, counting my toes 

When the radiator broke, water all froze 

I got stuck in the ice without my clothes 

Naked as the eyes of a clown 

I was crying, "Ice cube", hoping I'd croak 

When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke 

I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke 

That's the way that the world goes 'round 

That's the way that the world goes 'round 

You're up one day, the next you're down 

It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown 

That's the way that the world goes 'round
