Way It Always Seems to Go Songtext
von Jim Van Cleve

She said, "I′m leaving", I said, "you won't"
It won′t be very long until you come dragging home
Well it's been seven days and seven nights and baby ain't been back
I guess our little love train′s jumped the track

Ain′t that the way it always seems to go
You think I'd learn from my mistake, Buddy I learn slow
If you set a steak upon the plate, I′ll windup eating crow
That's the way it always seems to go


Well I went out drinking, just to have some fun
Down to the local bar and tavern did I run
But the more I drank, the less I thank and when the clock stuck one
I was looking down the barrel of a gun

Dave dealt the cards, the stakes were high
He said, "deuces wild" and looked me in the eye
I bet the farm, he raised the moon and since we laid ′em down
He's in the house and I′m sleeping on the ground

Yes, that's the way it always seems to go
