Half drunk in Chicago, waiting for my train to come in I must have missed it five times or more I was lower than I ever been I climbed the hill by the racetrack And watched them cars go 'round and 'round Just starin' out that window, watching the world go 'round I knew a guy from Houston and was a wrecking ball Six by six, he was hard as nails And stood about ten feet tall He sobered up and moved down south Found him a man and settled down Just starin' out that window, watching the world go 'round I been stuck 'round here for what seems like way too long And I seen all them old sad faces Everybody singing that same old song And I don't wanna be caught 'round here when that Judgement Day comes down Just starin' out that window, watching the world go 'round There was a guy in the men's room Name was Charlie Fry He stumbled in throwing punches And never bothered to say why I ran from there just as fast as I could Cus he weighed about 300 pounds Just starin' out that window, watching the world go 'round Yeah, I been stuck 'round here for what seems like way too long And I seen all them old sad faces Everybody singing that same old song And I don't wanna be caught 'round here when that Judgement Day comes down Just starin' out that window, watching the world go 'round I met a gal on the West Coast She said she'd leave me next day She stuck around for a year and a half and we were happy that way She was the best damn woman I guess that I ever found Just starin' out that window, watching the world go 'round Starin' out that window, watching the world go 'round, yeah, 'round Just starin' out that window, watching the world go 'round
