For the good times Don't' look so sad I know it's over But life goes on And this world Keeps on turning Let's just be glad We have this time

Gotta love this American ride Both ends of the ozone burnin' Funny how the world keeps turning I love, this American ride That's us, that's right Look ma, no hands Winter gettin' colder, summer gettin' warmer Tidal wave comin' cross the Mexican border

You keep turning, keep turning my life around You're my kaleidoscope Hey la nah nah oh Violets and purples Diamonds and circles I love every minute You've got me in it

What'll I do, what will I say when you're gone? In this emptiness emotion Will it hurt when you walk out the door? Fall asleep like drowning in the ocean I don't wanna go crazy And still the world keeps turning Turn around and walk away And the hours are
