What Goes Around

Summer sunshine as far as I can see

Shinin' down on a country boy who couldn't wait to be a man

I told my mama, "Mama, this just ain't for me

Gonna go to the city, I'm gonna be a star"

Fell in with a girl who sang the blues and drove me crazy

Every time I heard the word, I came like a slave

Listening to her lines inside a fool's paradise

Livin' on the music and what I could save

Well, I went to the trouble to work off all them chains

Then I looked around and found that much to my surprise

What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around

What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around

And around and around, it comes back around

Well now, Winter sunshine is shinin' down on me

Feelin' kinda crazy, thinkin' about a song

Things get bad sometime and pass like a fad

Thinkin' like what went right and wonderin' what's wrong

Well now, I went to the trouble to work off all them chains

Then I looked around and found that much to my surprise

What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around

What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around

What goes around, oh mama, just comes back around

What goes around, pretty mama, just comes back around

And around and around, it comes back around

And around and around, it comes back around

And around and around
