Please Let Me Go Round Again - Swamp Dogg, John Prine

Please let me go 'round again

Oh, life, can’t you afford me another chance?

If you’ll let me go 'round again

I’ll build a better mousetrap from a far more better plan

Everything I put my hands on, I blew it

Women, jobs, money, friends, and I knew it

Actin' crazy, talkin' dumb all the time

I woke up yesterday, I was forty years old, life had passed me by

Please let me go 'round again

Oh, life, can’t you afford me another chance?

If you’ll let me go 'round again

I’ll build a better mousetrap from a far more better plan

I got children that don’t even know me, and that’s not fair

I got children right here at home, and they don’t care

I’ve been a reckless, ramblin', restless, rover most of my life

Everything has been a series of mistakes, ain’t never done nothin' right

Please let me go 'round again

Oh, life, can’t you afford me another chance?

If you’ll let me go 'round again

I’ll build a better mousetrap from a far more better plan

John, you think you could build a better mousetrap?

I know I could

Give me one more chance

I don’t know

Just one more chance, Swamp

I believe I could

I got a better mousetrap in my mind right now

I’m scared to bet on myself

I’ll bet on ya

I’ll bet on you (Haha), but I done screwed up so much

Well, maybe we’d get a two-for-one

Maybe they’d give us both another chance

At half price?

We could get a two-handed sweater

Yeah, right, ha-ha-ha

Hey, man

Please let me go 'round again

I want to thank you for that «Sam Stone,» man

Ha-ha, you bet

You were writin' something good

You got it wrapped without a paper, Swamp

Haha, yeah

Please let me go 'round again

Let me go around again

Please let me go 'round again

Let me go, let me go, let me go

Just one more chance

You think that’s all you need, just one more?

I think so (Haha)

That’s what we both said the last time

Haha

Screwed it right in half, haha

Lord, have mercy
