|
everybody wants an easy ride
|
on the merry-go-round that we call life
|
take your drive on cruise control
|
then you wait to find it's a winding road
|
i had my dreams in view
|
when the money ran out and the engine blew
|
|
hung my tears out to dry
|
then my dreams fell out of that clear blue sky
|
and I, I was walkin' the clouds
|
feelin' so safe and sound
|
then somethin' else knocks me down
|
|
well, oh, that's the way it is
|
you gotta roll with the punches
|
that's the way it goes
|
you gotta bend when the wind blows
|
you live you learn
|
you crash and burn
|
it's hit or miss
|
and that's the way it is
|
|
one fine day you wake up
|
completely, hoplessly fallin' in love
|
he's just what you're lookin' for
|
the only problem is, that the man's not sure
|
another guy'll give you everything
|
the only problem is you don't feel a thing
|
well I know from expirence
|
nothin's ever gonna make perfect sense
|
oh, one day you get what you want
|
but it's not what you think
|
then you get what you need
|
|
well, oh, that's the way it is
|
you gotta roll with the punches
|
that's the way it goes
|
you gotta bend when the wind blows
|
you live you learn
|
you crash and burn
|
it's hit or miss
|
and that's the way it is
|
|
yeah they say your soul is growin'
|
but sometimes I feel like throwin' somethin'
|
|
and that's the way it is
|
you gotta roll with the punches
|
that's the way it goes
|
you gotta bend when the wind blows
|
that's the way it is
|
you gotta roll with the punches
|
that's the way it goes
|
you gotta bend when the wind blows
|
you live you learn
|
you crash and burn
|
it's hit or miss
|
and that's the way it is
|
