lyrics

I know a guy, always has a joke
He's a pretty nice fellow, not afraid to poke
Around inside the heads, of the crazy folks
That live all over this world

He could write a song, if he gets to drinking
Got a loving wife, and three children
But he’s gone to Mars, or maybe to heaven
And that's the way that the world goes round

That's the way that the world goes round.
You're up one day and 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

He’s a musical legend, see he always was
Cancer tried to take him, but he lived right on
He never stopped writing, just a bruised up orange
Sweet and sometimes tart

Loved to tell a story, just have to ask
Had many a dinner, while the sunrise laughed
Had a gift for being kind, while being crass
That's the way that the world goes round

That's the way that the world goes round.
You're up one day and 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, ol’ John might say
You never quite know, it’s day by day
Just keep the marble rolling, and you’ll be okay
That’s the way that the world goes round
That’s the way that the world goes round
