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 … That’s the way it goes down (6x)
