5. Old Crow Medicine Show, Next Go Round
Well the summer is come and gone as
the leaves fall on the lawn
I think of how these pleasures pass me by
And I am thinking of my old home and the
love I left behind
No, I couldn't I go back there if I try
On my next go 'round
Gonna get back to the dreams we new
before I broke them down
Gonna take your hand, gonna be the man
who pulls you from the ground
I won't let you down on my next go 'round

6. Old Crow Medicine Show, Next Go Round
We were standing on the edges of a
thousand burning bridges
Sifting through the ashes every day
What we thought was never ending now is
nothing more than a memory
The way things were before I lost my way
On my next go 'round
Gonna get back to the dreams we new
before I broke them down
Gonna take your hand, gonna be the man
who pulls you from the ground
I won't let you down on my next go 'round

7. Old Crow Medicine Show, Next Go Round
Now the winds are blowing steady, my
bags they're awful heavy
I wish that I could stop and turn around
But there are no second chances in a
world of circumstances
Oh, in this life you don't get no next go 'round
On my next go 'round, gonna start again
Gonna let you in, lay our burdens down
Gonna be the one never turnin' 'round, I'll
always be around
I won't let you down on my next go 'round
