The tire well it spins where the gravel is fine
Headinâ down the county road, cause I catch a glimpse of the greyhound sign â see it through and watch it go
Itâll chase the sun till it makes it turn bright, as it heads down to Houston town
Iâm gonna catch it buddy, I just might
Someday, when I come around
(chorus)
When I come around, Iâm a fool and a stranger
Come around, itâs a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, Iâm dancing away
The tower it got a fresh coat of paint
Itâs reading in a lot more clear
I guess it donât matter if you know you ainât gonna make it too far from here
She stands like a mountain
She sleeps like a child
And she wonât let her memory down
Iâm gonna shake my way out of its sight
Someday when I come around
When I come around, Iâm a fool and a stranger
Come around, itâs a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, Iâm dancing away
I knew a girl she used to say, âYouâre living like youâre spinning around.â
We used to dance while the band used to play
Slowly, we sifted the sound
She caught the bus ten years ago today
She hasnât called me in nine
I think now and then when Iâm acting some way
How she promised to keep me in line
She chased the sun till it made her turn bright
And the band put their instruments down
Iâm gonna catch her buddy, I just might
Someday, when I come around
When I come around, Iâm a fool and a stranger
Come around, itâs a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, Iâm dancing away
