Bill Anderson - Watching It Go lyrics

It seems that I'm spendin' most of my life

Spendin' ten cents while I'm makin' a dime

Tryin' to make sense out of life's mixed up rhyme

Meantime I'm watching it go.

Clouds in my head they keep crowding my brain

Fair weather thoughts disappear with the rain

I'm chasing rainbows that never remain

Helplessly watching life go.

Watching it go

Wanting to know

Where do you go

Where you've been?

Poor Cinderella she's bowing her head

Tellin' some stranger what a hard life she's led

Glass slippers. fast asleep under the bed

Sadly I'm watching her go.

Prince charming dressed in disarming disguise

Flashin' his charms as he's blinding her eyes

Morning will hear him say his sunshine goodbye

Just the way I used to go.

Watching it go

Wanting to know

Where do you go

Where you've been?

My Lord it seems I've tried so many things

Walking on crutches and calling them wings

Wondering who's pulling the puppeteer's strings, hmm

I'm wantin' to know.

I feel so confined I keep wanting to roam

Looking for a life that won't be so alone

Singing in my soul Lord I want to go home

Knowin' I never can go.

Watching it go

Wanting to know

Where do you go

When you've been...
