The Way it Goes
© 2001 Richardson/Selfridge

Long ago I had a love
It was everything I dreamed of
Sweet kisses under moonlit skies
And long gazes into lovin' eyes
But one day it all flew away
With a younger girl in a sooped up Chevrolet
And you know it seems like...that's just the way it goes

Then one day I met someone new
I thought I'd never again be blue
We made time in the tall tall grass
We made plans I thought would last
But one day it all hit the road
With a faster girl in a fire red Pugeot
And you know it seems like...that's just the way it goes

I feel like I've been used
I feel like I've been abused
I feel like I just can't do it again
I feel like I've been rode hard and hung up to dry
But Lady Luck's gotta shine on me someday
There'll be blue skies

Tempted again the other day
Oh this one took my heart away
With my luck, I had a few little doubts but
I was hopeful it would all work out
But it was just the same ol' scene
With a richer girl in daddy's limousine
And you know it seems like...that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it
That's just the way it goes.
