[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
