Lyrics of Spinning Wheel by Blood, Sweat & Tears
verse
What goes up must come down
Spinnin′ wheel got to go 'round
Talkin′ 'bout your troubles, it's a cryin′ sin
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin′ wheel spin
Ya got no money and yeah, ya got no home
Spinnin' wheel, all alone
Talkin′ 'bout your troubles and ya, ya never learn
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin′ wheel turn
bridge
Did ya 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
chorus
Someone is waitin' just for you
Spinnin′ wheel, spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinnin' wheel ride
Someone′s waitin′ just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin′ true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Ride a painted pony, let the spinnin' wheel fly
outro
That wasn′t too good
Writer(s): David Clayton-thomas
