"Full Circle Song" (also titled "Full Circle") is a country rock-style song written by Gene Clark. For the lyrics, he used an allegorical wheel of fortune motif to comment on the unpredictable nature of fame and fortune.[1][2] Recorded in Los Angeles in 1972, the song was originally released on Clark's Roadmaster, which was only issued in the Netherlands in January 1973.[2][3]
Clark, with his former group the Byrds, re-recorded the song as "Full Circle" for the 1973 reunion album, Byrds.[4][5]
