Thats The Way

Jo Dee Messina


Everybody wants an easy ride on the 
merry go round that we call life 
Take a drive on cruise control then 
you wake to find its 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 
Somethin' else knocks my down 

CHOURS: 
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 its hit or miss 
Thats the way it is 

One fine day you wake up, completely, hopelessly fallin in love 
He's jsut what you're lookin for 
the only problem is that the 
man's not sure 
Another guy'll give you 
everything only probem is 
you dont feel a thing 
Well I know from experience nothing's ever gonna make perfect sense 
Oh, one day you get what you want 
But it's not want you think 
Then get what you need 

REPEAT CHOURS 

Yeah, they say your soul is growin' 
but 
Sometimes I feel like throwin somethin' 

LAST CHORUS 
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 
ben when the wind blows 
You live,you learn, you crash and 
That's the way it is 

That's the way it is 
That's the way it is 
That's the way it goes 
That's the way it goes
