world keeps going around

Bill Withers

Lookin' at the pictures of the places
That he'd been, an old man told me what he'd found
Said it don't make no difference whether you're
Out or whether you're in, though the world keeps
Goin' round and round. Goin' round and round

Said he looked at the places
talked of the faces that he'd seen
Then he turned the pictures upside down
Said it don't make no difference
how many places you've been
Said the world keeps goin' round and round
Goin' round and round

Then he put up the pictures shook his head
and with a grin
He talked about his ups and downs
Said it don't make no difference
how many fixes you've been in
No, the world keeps goin' round and round
Goin' round and round

Betty Joe Johnson, don't you pull no Daisy Mae on me
Daisy Mae she did me
