(1) These two lines form a short bridge and appear in early versions of the song. But they were later dropped--and are not in the published Hunter lyrics
Merry run around
Sailing up and down
Looking for a shove in some direction
Got it from the top
It's nothing you can stop
Lord, you know they made a fine connection
Chorus They love each other
Lord, you can see it's true
Lord, you can see it's true
Lord, you can see it's true
He could pass his time
Around some other line
But you know he chose this place beside her
Don't get in the way
There's nothing you can say
Nothing that you need to add or do
It's nothing, they explain
It's like a diesel train
Better not be there when it rolls over
And when that train rolls in
You won't know where it's been
You gotta try to see a little further
Though you'll make a noise
They just can't hear your voice
They're on a dizzy ride and you're cold sober
Hope you will believe what I say is true (note 1)
Everything I did, I heard it first from you
Heard your news report
You know you're falling short
Pretty soon won't trust you for the weather
When that ship comes in
You won't know where it's been
You got to try to see a little further
