Written by Steve Earle I've spent my life following things I can not see And just when I catch up to them they slip away from me I've been down a thousand trails I've never walked before I found out that without fail they lead me to your door And the world keeps turning round and round It leaves me hanging in the air My heart keeps turning upside down And you're still standin' there Lately I see all the signs I feel it in the wind The same thing happens every time that you come back again I admit that there are nights when I sit up and cry But sometimes I turn out the lights and pray you'll pa** me by And the world keeps turning round and round It leaves me hanging in the air My heart keeps turning upside down And you're still standin' there Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold And your memory cannot keep me warm but it never leaves me cold And the world keeps turning round and round It leaves me hanging in the air My heart keeps turning upside down And you're still standin' there
