The Way Life Goes

I’ve been making a living off these highway lines

Still tossing and turning almost every night

So I smoke a little weed and I'll get some rest

‘Cause there’s a restless heart pounding in my chest

I’d do away with all this worry

If it weren’t for debts and a lack of money

Oh, I'd have something to show

But that’s the way life goes

It’s just the way life goes

I only see my mum and dad a couple times a year

All our borrowed hours just seem to disappear

While I was chasing my tail, driving coast to coast

I lost sight of the things that I missed the most

Like waking up at dawn to a rising sun

Slow dancing in the kitchen with the lady I love

Going drinking with the boys on a Saturday night

Hearing my sister try to tell me that she’s always right

I’d do away with all this worry

If my songs were cool and my jokes were funny

I'd be worth getting to know

But that’s the way life goes

There’s no need to leave so soon

If only each one of us were just passing through

I'd be less of a rolling stone

But that’s the way life goes

That’s just the way life goes

Oh, and that's the way life goes

Oh, no-no no no

I’d do away with all this worry

If I could change the pace and slow the hurry

I'd be taking the long way home

'Cause that’s the way life goes

There’s an art to living free

It's knowing each one of us are where we're meant to be

We're just chasing the great unknown

That’s the way life goes

That’s just the way life goes
