Round and Round

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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"

[Chorus]
Round and round and round and round we go
Why we can't be satisfied, I don't know
I don't know

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Round and round and round and round we go
