JUST HOW IT IS...by Seth Richardson
I’ve seen an old man down on his luck
Working a shitty job every single day
Cause he’s got bills to pay
Never thought his life would turn out this way
See this old man he’s 68
He lost of wife of 50 years a couple weeks ago
They had no kid of their own
He’s scared he’s gonna die alone
But that’s just how it is
THAT’S JUST HOW IT IS (x’s 4)
I’ve watched an old lady begging for some change
I’d bring her a coffee on my way to work everyday
She thought I was strange
Well, she’s got nowhere to live
And no one really gives a damn
Her family ran out on her years ago
She’s been on the streets ever since
She hit the bottle hard
And in her eyes are battle scars
But that’s just how it is
THAT’S JUST HOW IT IS (x’s 4)
BRIDGE...
The sooner the better we get out of here
The sooner the better, things are gonna be
Lay down next to me and whisper a story
About how it is
