The Way It Goes

The Way It Goes

(album: Vintage - 2023)

When you're six you plant seeds in the backyard at home
Momma says water them sit back and watch them grow
It takes a little time but they'll start popping up in rows
That's just the way it goes

You spend a million miles in that back seat of your dad's Ford
First you're too young then you're shotgun and before you know
You turn sixteen get the keys and go off on your own
That's just the way it goes

Then somewhere along that line you'll fall harder
Than you've fallen in your whole life
You'll start wondering 'bout
Rings for sale and wedding bells
Moving in getting settled down
Girl laying next to you right now
I'm looking down that road and I hope
That's just the way it goes

One day you'll trade that truck in for something that's way safer
And that one bedroom apartment for a house you'll pay off later
Start acting like your daddy when you show your boy the ropes
That's just the way it goes, mmm

Then somewhere along that line you'll fall harder
Than you've fallen in your whole life
You'll start wondering 'bout
Babies you'll be raising up
And messy rooms and Tonka trucks
Girl laying next to you right now
I'm looking down that road and I hope
That's just the way it goes

'Cause hairs get gray and steps get slow
Kids grow up and have a few of their own
But you still got that smile and that same hand to hold
And together you grow old
That's just the way it goes

When somewhere along that line you fall harder
Than you've fallen in your whole life
You start wondering how
80 years went by so fast
And how you're just lucky to have
A girl like her that's always felt like home
All the way down that road, yeah, I hope
That's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes
Yeah, I hope
That's just the way it goes
