Round And Around

I sit by myself all alone for so long
out in front of this place
And folks look at me like I’m some kind of vagrant
they don’t see my face
Man I feel guilty inside
Now surely this ain’t what I planned
I’m gonna steal something someday
There are things you can’t hold in your hand

I may never see the ocean
I’m so far from the sea
But I can feel the rain sometimes
fallin’ down on me
Then the runoff hits the river
Then the river takes it on home
And the power of the sun provides
A cycle for the storm

Man, I grew up around here
and my story is boring at best
I went to school, hey, and I found a job man
and you know the rest
Round and around I go
How I’ll get off, I don’t know
I might appear on the outside content
But what’s inside sometimes I don’t show

My whole life I’ve waited so
For someone to say, go boy, go
But precious time has come and gone
And left me with no place to run

Anxious and weary I lie to myself
that it won’t be too long
Until I can get out of this place, with goodbye
I start singing my song
Bottle of whiskey, bottle of wine
Old bottled up notions won’t die on the vine
I really don’t know what I want
And I guess that’s what throws me inside
