John Prine - Thats The Way That The World Goes round текст песни

I know a guy

Thats got a lot to lose

Hes a pretty nice fellow

But hes kind of confused

Hes got muscles in his head

That aint 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

And buys her new clothes

Thats the way that the world goes round.

Thats the way that the world goes round

Youre up one day

And the next youre down

Its half an inch of water

And you think youre gonna drown

Thats 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 cubes

Hoping Id croak

When the sun come through the window

The ice all broke

I stood up and laughed

Thought it was a joke

Thats the way that the world goes round.
