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 mountaintop

Wants to go down breath the salt air by the shore

There's a guy on an island, he ain't smiling

Don't want to 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 whose 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

Someplace 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 them 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 are we always wanting 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 are we always wanting something we ain't got?

Oh, we have not got

Round and round and round and round we go
