That’s The Way It Goes Down

Good love gone, I never felt so low
So I set out on a trail of woe
Anybody got in my way
Take it or leave it, nothing more to say

Mama sure wouldn’t be proud of me
I knew better though I could not see
All the angels said now he’s hell bent
Steady your wings and let’s make a bet

Here’s a guy that thinks he’s got it made
Drinkin’ rye whiskey in the midnight shade
Take one down and pass it around
Company and misery meet downtown

That’s the way it goes down
That’s the way it goes down

Staring at the phone but it don’t make a sound
There’s a picture of a love left town
She’s probably with him getting me back
How could I blame her, it’s a two way track

Blame it on love, blame it on fate
Blame it on the one that you’d love to hate
But you can’t so you won’t so you just forgive
There’s a better way to learn and live

That’s the way it goes down
That’s the way it goes down
That’s the way it goes down

If I had it all to do it over again
I wouldn’t change much but the shape I’m in
And I’d hold your hand and never let go
Stand up proud …

And if I had it all to do it over again
I wouldn’t change much but the shape I’m in
And I’d hold your hand and never let go
Stand up proud so everyone would know
So everyone would know …
