Lyrics

What goes up must come down
Spinning wheel got to go 'round
Talking 'bout your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel spin

You got no money and you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel turn

Did you find the 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

Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel, spinning true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride

Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel, spinning true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly

What goes up must come down
Spinning wheel got to go 'round
Talking 'bout your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel spin

You got no money and you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking 'bout your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel turn
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly
