What goes up must come down
Spinning wheel got to go around
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel spin
You got no money, you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking about 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 on the riverside
Catch a painted pony, pony, pony, pony, pony
Ride a painted pony, ride a painted pony
Ride a painted pony
Did you find the directing sign
On the straight and narrow highway, highway, 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 on the riverside
Catch a painted pony, let the spinning wheel fly
