Merry run around sailing up and down just looking for a shove in some direction-- got it from the top it's nothing you can stop Lord, you know they made a fine connection They love each other Lord, you can see it's true He could pass his time 'round some other line But you know he chose this place beside her Don't get in the way there's nothing you can say, Nothing thay you need to add or do They love each other Lord, you can see it's true It's nothing they explain it's like a diesel train-- you better not be there when it rolls over And when that train rolls in you don't know where it's been You gotta try and see a little further [ ADDITIONAL LYRICS FROM THE 1973 VERSION ]
Though you'll make a noise, just can't hear your voice. All the dizzy ride on your cold shoulder Won't you believe what I say is true? Everything I did I heard it first from you. Everything I tell you, I heard it first from you. Heard your news report, you know you're falling short. Pretty soon, we'll trust you for the weather. When that ship comes in, you won't know where it's been. You got to try to see a little farther.
