The Way Of It



It's the way of it - that's how it goes
Sometimes it rains - sometimes it snows
Sometimes you're hot - sometimes your cold
Sometimes you're young............ most times you're old

It's the way of it - in this crazy world
It's a little boy - it's a little girl
They fall in love - they have no fear
Pretty soon - they disappear

It's the way of it - you know for some
It's an empty dream - it's a loaded gun
It's a flyin' stone - when you're callin' names
You think you sound so different - hell we're all the same

It's the way of it - (but) some take the chance
They walk the walk - they even learn to dance
If you dance around with some other kind
And you say, "I love you" - hell we don't mind

It's the way of it - here I go again
I'm off to Holland - just to play for some friends
friends are diamonds - friends are gold
sometimes you're young - most times you're old

It's the way of it - that's how it goes
sometimes it raines - sometimes it blows
sometimes you're hot - sometimes you're cold
sometimes you're young.........most times you're old
