[Verse 1]
I didn't want it, it was plain to see
When we talked out plans makin' no money
I can no longer go to say it's fine
And I don't want nothin' I want a life

[Pre-Chorus]
Tryin' like a jewel just to shine it on
Momma's gonna love it no matter what
Ridin' on a silver shadow to my grave

[Chorus]
And it seems like we're just turnin'
Turnin' just to make it work
And it seems like we're just turnin'
Turnin' just to make it work

[Verse 2]
Well, everybody says the seasons change
And you get hit waitin' for the winter train
Lyin' in your bed, and it begins to rain
Yeah, it feels that way, but it's not the same

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that you're here and that you want to stay
Wishin' all the time that you could run away
Babe, we're only kids, what's one more on the way
Prayin' every night and day
[Chorus]
And it seems like we're just turnin'
Turnin' just to make it work
And it seems like we're just turnin'
Turnin' just to make it work
All the while, we're always learnin'
Learnin' how to make it work
But it seems like we're just turnin'
Turnin' 'til we make it work

[Bridge]
And when you live a little then you learn to know
It don't always go the way it goes
So I'll take another job you'll work nights at the bar
We can make it work, I know, I know, I know

[Chorus]
Turnin' just to make it work
Turnin' just to make it work
And it seems like we're just turnin'
Turnin' just to make it work
And it seems like we're just turnin'
Turnin' just to make it work
