Where are you going now, boy?
Haven't you had enough?
Haven't you seen that living now
Is getting pretty rough?
How many times do you want to retrace
The paths you've already found?
You haven't got long to sing your song
'Cause it's your third time around
It's your third time, third time around
Where did you go the last time?
I didn't see you for a while
You wet your head with your Tibetan tryst
And then you hid behind your smile
And when you returned to tell us the news
You let me in on a little joke
The next timе you left, you wouldn't come back
You'd disappear in a cloud of smokе
Where are you going now, boy?
Haven't you had enough?
Haven't you seen that living now
Is getting pretty rough?
How many times do you want to retrace
The paths you've already found?
You haven't got long to sing your song
'Cause it's your third time around
It's your third time, third time around
Once more, I'll call out to you
Because I only called you twice
I'll talk long enough to say goodbye
And hasn't it all been nice?
Well, after you're gone if you feel it's wrong
You can always have another try
But you lose a lot in coming back
Because you know you were meant to die
Where are you going now, boy?
Haven't you had enough?
Haven't you seen that living now
Is getting pretty rough?
How many times do you want to retrace
The paths you've already found?
You haven't got long to sing your song
'Cause it's your third time around
It's your third time, third time around
