[Verse 1]
What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go around
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
[Verse 2]
You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn
[Bridge]
Did you find your directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
[Verse 3]
Someone's waiting just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride
[Outro]
Did you find your directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shinе within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go around
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
[Verse 2]
You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn
[Bridge]
Did you find your directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
[Verse 3]
Someone's waiting just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride
[Outro]
Did you find your directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shinе within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
