Please Let Me Go Round Again

Lyrics

[Chorus: John Prine & Swamp Dogg] 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 [Verse 1: Swamp Dogg] 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 [Chorus: 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 [Verse 2: John Prine] 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 [Chorus: John Prine & Swamp Dogg] 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 [Outro: Swamp Dogg & John Prine] 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
