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
One fine day you wake up Completely, hoplessly fallen in love He's just what you're lookin' for The only problem is, that the man's not sure Another guy'll give you everything
The only problem is you don't feel a thing Well I know from expirence Nothin's ever gonna make perfect sense Oh, one day you get what you want But it's not what you think Then you get what you need
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
Yeah they say your soul is growin' But sometimes I feel like throwin' somethin'
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 Well, 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
