That's The Way That The World Goes 'round

John Prine

I know a man who's got a lot to lose

A pretty nice fella, kinda confused

Got muscles in his head that've never been used

He thinks he owns half of this town

He goes out drinkin' 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 a half-an-inch of water and you think you're gonna drown

That's the way that the world goes 'round



I was sittin' in the bathtub just countin' my toes

When the radiator broke, water all froze

I was stuck in the ice without my clothes

Naked as the eyes of a clown

I was cryin' ice cubes, hopin' I'd croak

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

I stood up and laughed, I 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 a half-an-inch of water and you think you're gonna drown

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 a half-an-inch of water and you think you're gonna drown

That's the way that the world goes 'round
