What Goes Around

(альбом: What Goes Around Comes Around - 1979)

Summer sunshine as far as I can see
Shining down on a country boy who couldn't wait to be a man
I told my mama, "Mama, this just ain't for me
Gonna go to the city, I'm gonna be a star"

Fell in with a girl who sang the blues and drove me crazy
Every time I heard the word, I came like a slave
Listening to her lines inside a fool's paradise
Living on the music and what I could save

Well, I went to the trouble to work off all them chains
Then I looked around and found that much to my surprise
What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around
What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around
And around and around, it comes back around

Well now, Winter sunshine is shining down on me
Feeling kinda crazy, thinking about a song
Things get bad sometime and pass like a fad
Thinking like what went right and wondering what's wrong

Well now, I went to the trouble to work off all them chains
Then I looked around and found that much to my surprise
What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around
What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around
What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around
What goes around, pretty mama, just comes back around
And around and around, it comes back around
And around and around, it comes back around
And around and around
