“Play it from the top”

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes the blues get a hold on you
And just when you thought you had made it
All around the block, people will talk (Oh, people will talk)
I wanna give it all that I got
And I just don’t want
I don’t want to waste it

Talkin’ ’bout sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know you can get there easily
Just like a sailboat sailin’ on the sea

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Most times, you choose between the two
Oh, wonderin’ (Wonderin’) if you have made it

But I’ll have some kids and make my plans
I’ll watch the seasons runnin’ away
And I’ll build me a life in the open
A life in the country

Talkin’ ’bout sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know you can get there easily
Just like a sailboat sailin’ on the sea
Talkin’ ’bout sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know you can get there easily
Just like a sailboat sailin’ on the sea

Talkin’ ’bout sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet seasons
Talkin’ ’bout sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet seasons
Talkin’ ’bout sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet seasons
