Round and Round

  • Some folks living in the country can't wait
    To get in their pick-up trucks and go to town
    There's people living in a penthouse
    Dying to get out in the sticks and ride around

    There's a man above the mountain top
    Wants to go down breath the salt air by the shore
    There's a guy on an island, he ain't smiling
    Don't wanna be on an island anymore

    There's a lady locked in a love affair
    Wouldn't care if she was single again
    There's a lonely soul who's only goal
    Is to get that golden ring upon their hand

    In the middle of nowhere where there's nobody
    Trying to get that fifteen minutes of fame
    Some place there's a superstar thinking
    Lord, if I could only change my name

    Round and round and round and round we go
    Why we can't be satisfied, I don't know
    I don't know

    There's a young man wishing he could grab the hands of time
    And speed 'em up a year or two
    There's an old man wishing he could just go back
    And stop the clock and hang on to his youth

    There's a stoner on the sidewalk
    Wishing he could just get straight for a day
    There's a man in a suit and tie
    Thinking getting high might be a better way

    Round and round and round and round we go
    Why we can't be satisfied, I don't know
    From the day we're born, it seems like it never stops
    Why we always wantin' something we ain't got
    Oh, we ain't got

    Round and round and round and round we go
    Why we can't be satisfied, I don't know
    Til the day we die, it seems like it never stops
    Why we always wantin' something we ain't got
    Oh, we ain't got

    Round and round and round and round we go
    Round and round and round and round we go
    Round and round and round and round we go
    Round and round and round and round we go Writer/s: Even Stevens, Paul Lester Overstreet, Scott Emerick
