Watching The Wheels

People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing.
Well, they give me all kinds of warning to save me from ruin.
When I say that I'm okay,
Well, they look at me kind of strange,
Surely you're not happy now,
You no longer play the game.

People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away.
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me.
When I tell them that I'm doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time, boy,
You're no longer on the ball.

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry go round,
I just had to let it go.

Ah, people asking questions, lost in confusion.
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.
Well, they shake their heads and look at me
As if I lost my mind.
I tell them there's no hurry,
I'm just sitting here doing time.
