The Way Life Goes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bobby comes from the wrong side of the tracks
Coll as he was you know he just couldn't seem to relax
A couple of reds and a bottle of wine
Smoking a joint now he's doing fine
Bobby comes from the wrong side of the tracks
Now Peggy's as good as a Catholic girl can be
Bob looked at her said God made you just for me
She lit up a smoke said I disagree
A U and I don't make a W-E
To everyone's surprise it was true love eternally
Ain't that the way life goes
Funny how nobody knows
Hand the fate never shows
Ain't that the way life goes
George and Eileen were all star American dream
Queen of the prom, captain of the football team
Nobody foresaw anything to obscene
But they were in for a shock no crystal ball could have seen
Georgie broke her heart became an all star American queen
Ain't that the way life goes
Funny how nobody knows
Hand the fate never shows
Ain't that the way life goes
Nobody can be a fortune - teller you see
The cover never reveals the book entirely
Dancing off of the beat landing so perfectly
Out of tune is the note that ends in harmony
