[00:00.70] Miranda Lambert - That's The Way The World Goes 'Round
[00:02.40]
[00:19.82] I know a gal got a lot to lose
[00:22.60] She's a pretty nice lady but she's kinda confused
[00:25.91] Got muscles in her head ain't never been used
[00:29.02] Thinks she owns half of this town
[00:31.97]
[00:33.62] Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose
[00:36.40] And she beats her old man with her pantyhose
[00:39.65] And takes him out and buys him new clothes
[00:42.85] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[00:45.53]
[00:46.05] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[00:49.04] One minute you're up and the next you're down
[00:52.19] Got a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
[00:55.01] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[00:59.42]
[01:10.37] Well I was sittin' in the tub just a countin' my toes
[01:13.29] When the radiator broke and the water froze
[01:16.45] Got stuck in the ice without any clothes
[01:19.64] Naked as the eyes of a clown
[01:22.29]
[01:24.56] I was crying ice cubes hoping that I'd croak
[01:27.21] When the sun came through the window and the ice all broke
[01:30.17] I said son of a gun man that's just a joke
[01:33.30] And that's the way that the world goes 'round
[01:36.01]
[01:36.72] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[01:39.67] One minute you're up and the next you're down
[01:42.62] Got a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
[01:45.77] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[01:50.06]
[02:13.41] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[02:16.43] One minute you're up and the next you're down
[02:19.32] Got a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
[02:22.77] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[02:26.33] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[02:29.04] That's the way that the world goes 'round
[02:38.68]
