She wore faded jeans and soft black leather She had eyes so blue they looked like weather When she needed me I wasn't around That's the way it goes, it'll all work out There were times apart, there were times together I was pledged to her for worse or better When it mattered most I let her down That's the way it goes, it'll all work out Chorus: It'll all work out eventually Better off with him than here with me Chorus 2: It'll all work out eventually Maybe better with him than here with me Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy And the water's rising in the levee Still I think of her when the sun goes down It never goes away, but it all works out
