Lyrics
That?s how it goes
Words & Music by Steve & Sue McConnell
That?s how it goes ? that?s how it goes
and why it has to be this way nobody knows
but your twists & turns become your lessons learned
and I think that?s how we grow
we may not like it
but that?s how it goes
You lost your job.
Your goldfish died.
You got a call from the teacher, your kid is telling lies.
Tried to leave a little early, told your friends I?ll see ya later
bumped into your boss on the elevator.... (chorus)
Your system crashed,
before you saved.
And all your funds for retirement are fading away. You learned that
DRY CLEAN ONLY isn?t just a suggestion.
Why do these things happen ? is that your question? (chorus)
(Bridge)
You might be tempted to feel sorry for yourself,
complain and grumble and moan ?
and maybe you think you?re in this all alone....
but you?d be wrong...
Now I know a guy,
and this is the truth,
jumped outta bed so fast he passed out ? hit the floor & lost a tooth!
At 38 years old he?s wearing braces ? wow!
He?s an aging adolescent ?you?re staring at his face right now.... (chorus)
