The Way Things Go
Copyright: Nathan C Rylant, 2000
People have tried to look down on me
But I survived it all amazingly
I'm no better than anyone else
We all have our own little pieces of hell
I stay sane just barin' my soul on this old guitar
'Bout the way things go
See my first true love left me empty and cold
Making the second one harder to hold
After three there were many more
That walked in and out my door
Just leavin' me barin' my soul on this old guitar
'Bout the way things go
Bridge:
It seems no matter how hard I try
Life does it's best to suck me dry
But I've gotta keep on keepin' on
'Cause overnight it could all be gone
There's not much more that can be said
Other than, that's the way things go
A real good friend he just lost his job
Gave me a ring, wasn't askin' alot
He called it somethin' like a corporate downsize
I told him, ?Man you know that just ain?t right?
'Cause, all I got to loan is the barin' of my soul
On this old guitar 'bout the way
The way things go
Bridge 2:
It seems no matter how hard we try
Life does it's best to suck us dry
But we've gotta keep on keepin' on
'Cause overnight it could all be gone
There's not much more that can be said
Other than, that's the way things go
That?s just the way, things, always seem to go
The way things go
The way things go.
