Travis Collins - What Goes Around lyrics

Artist: Travis Collins

album: No Boundaries


He worked afternoons and most weekends
With that and the books there was no time for friends
Dad worked the till, he filled the tanks
Every dollar went into the bank
With big plans of getting away he said
"I'm gonna change the world one day"
Campus called, a place was set
He's gonna be a doctor yet

On his last day livin' in the highway town
A man pulled up with the window down
And no shirt, just a black leather vest
Snake tattoo on the front of his chest
It was over before the kid knew
The shotgun fired and the window blew
His father died but as he slipped away he said
"What goes around comes back one day"
Oh, what goes up, must come down
Life's a dance, we all go around
It's always been a small world after all
And you give what you get, you get what you give
To each their own, live and let live
Some day there'll be nowhere left to fall
Nowhere to fall, when karma comes to call

Ten years on, the boy's a man
Working hard doing what he can
He works long hours for a doctor now
A long way from his highway town
He still thinks back to the fateful day
And what if it all went the other way
He wouldn't be savin' lives today
And I guess that's why he'll always say
You can hear him say
What goes up, must come down
Life's a dance, we all go around
It's always been a small world after all
And you give what you get, you get what you give
To each their own, live and let live
Someday there'll be nowhere left to fall
Nowhere to fall, and karma comes to call
It's coming to call

In the back of his mind is a heavy thought
It keeps on bringing him down
If he only knew way back then
All that he knows now
Some people say he lost his mind
Others say he just lost control
Why did the doctor do what he did that day
Everybody talks but nobody really knows
It was a code red, the man was almost dead
They wheeled him in on that emergency bed
And he watched and let him bleed to death
There was a snake tattoo on the front of his chest
