Round and Round by Jerry Jeff Walker Lyrics

[Chorus]
'Round and 'round and everything keeps tumblin' down
Make a sideways move 'til you're standing at the edge of town
'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around

[Verse 1]
How many times must we play the game of hide-and-seek between ourselves?
Speak about ideals passed on from somebody else?
While actually the truth is only what you do
When you consider and then be honest
With yourself
And nobody else

[Chorus]
'Round and 'round and everything keeps tumblin' down
Make a sideways move 'til you're standing at the edge of town
'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around

[Verse 2]
Now life is strange when you think about the paradoxes we all live around
Teach the young to love their neighbors but make sure that they grow up
Love's just a game we play to occupy our time
While everybody turns aside
Hides their eyes
With what's inside
[Chorus]
'Round and 'round and everything keeps tumblin' down
Make a sideways move 'til you're standing at the edge of town
'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around

[Verse 3]
Now what's the good of this life you've seen if no one's hungry for your lines?
You can write a poem or song to amuse your mind
But relationships we need can only come from those
Who've got no clothes
But they can take it
Without the fear of living naked

[Chorus]
'Round and 'round and everything keeps tumblin' down
Make a sideway move 'til you're standing at the edge of town
'Cause everything in this world's got you turned around

[Outro]
Yeah 'cause everything in this world's keeps bringin' you down
Everything in this world's got you turned around
