look into a poor man's soul
had his heart die too many times
saw an old man die by the river bed
while his wife wept by his side
but that's just the way it goes
yea that's just the way it goes
and this world
this world keeps on turning
daughter grabs her father's hand
says "daddy please don't go!"
can't stand to watch that little girl cry
can't fall in love with the devil's angel
and hope he won't commit no crimes
but that's just the way it goes
yea that's just the way it goes
and this world
this world keeps on turning
ever wonder if there's blue skies ahead
at the dead end of a road
it an't easy but it'll all make sense
someday, someday
cause this world
this world keeps on turning
yea this world
this world keeps on turning
yea this world
this world keeps on turning
