Bill Anderson - Watching It Go lyrics

rate me

It seems that I'm spendin' most of my life

Spendin' ten cents while I'm makin' a dime

Tryin' to make sense out of life's mixed up rhyme meantime I'm watching it go

Clouds in my head they keep crowding my brain

Fair weather thoughts disappear with the rain

I'm chasing rainbows that never remain helplessly watching life go

Watching it go wanting to know where do you go where you've been

[ strings ]

Poor Cinderella she's bowing her head

Tellin' some stranger what a hard life she's led

Glass slippers fast asleep under the bed sadly I'm watching her go

Prince charming dressed in disarming disguise

Flashin' his charms as he's blinding her eyes

Morning will hear him say his sunshine goodbye just the way I used to go

Watching it go wanting to know where do you go where you've been

[ strings ]

My Lord it seems I've tried so many things

Walking on crutches and calling them wings

Wondering who's pulling the puppeteer's strings hmm I'm wantin' to know

I feel so confined I keep wanting to roam looking for a life that won't be so alone

Singing in my soul Lord I want to go home knowin' I never can go

Watching it go wanting to know where do you go when you've been
