Watching the Wheels

People say I'm crazy Doin' what I'm doin' Well, they give me all kinds of warnings To save me from ruin When I say that I'm okay They look at me kinda strange "Surely, you're not happy now You no longer play the game" People say I'm lazy Dreaming my life away Well, they give me all kinds of advice Designed to enlighten me And when I tell them that I'm doing fine Watching shadows on the wall "Don't you miss the big time, boy? You're no longer on the ball" I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go I just had to let it go People ask me questions Lost in confusion Well, I tell them there's no problem Only solutions Well, they shake their heads, and they look at me As if I've lost my mind Tell them there's no hurry I'm just sitting here, doin' time I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go I just had to let it go I just had to let it go Just had to let it go
