That's The Way

(Annie Roboff&Holly Lamar) Everybody wants an easy ride On the merry-go-round that we call life Take your drive on cruise control Then you wait to find out it's 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 Then somethin' else knocks me down 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 It's hit or miss And that's the way it is
