lyrics

There’s a brush fire in my belly
where shady places used to be
There’s nothing in my pocket
with holes to let it breathe
and I know I
could never really make it on my own
good thing I’ve got my hat, my shoes
a cheap fifth of booze
to get me where I’m going

Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way it always goes
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way it always goes

There are problems in this world
That no one wants to fix
We are here for such a short while
and I we want to do is get our kicks
and I know I
Ain’t trying any bit harder than you
Still it’s hard to empathize, see through your eyes
Why you doin the things you doin.

Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way it always goes
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way it always goes

Well, I know that I can’t miss you
If you never go away
I never knew a good song
could ever last this long
so tonight you might just have to stay

Kings have ruled kingdoms that have fallen into dust
There are heroes who would’nt want to have anything to do with us
and I know I
Can make it through with a little bit of love
Just you and me babe
Just you and me babe

Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way it always goes
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way it always goes
