This World Goes Round - Tom Paxton This world goes round and round. Green leaves will turn to brown. What goes up must come down. It all comes back to you. And you find whatever you feel. You lose whatever you steal. Just like a spinning wheel the world goes round and round. (Guitar solo) People knocking on the golden door. They got plenty but they all want more. They don’t know what they’re looking for. And the world goes round and round. (Repeat first verse.) We keep fightin’ but we just can’t win. Looks like we’re going to do it again. That’s just where I came in And the world goes round and round. (Repeat first verse.) Rain water runs down to sea. Evaporation makes the clouds fly free. Then it comes and it rains on me. And the world goes round and round. (Repeat first verse.)
