It Isn’t Gonna Be That Way Songtext
von Steve Forbert

You′ve traveled so far, the wind in your face
You're thinking you′ve found the one special place
Where all of your dreams will walk out in line
And follow the course you've made in your mind

Hey, it isn't gonna be that way
It isn′t gonna be that way

Hey, I done came on my own and felt much like you
I thought I was king and knew what to do
But everything burned and fell from my hand
I had to turn back or build a new plan

′Cause it isn't gonna be that way
It isn′t gonna be that way
No, it isn't gonna be that way
It isn′t gonna be that way


If I were a god, I'd give you a clue
This minute would crack and I could go through
And walk out in time where no one has been
I′d come back to you and tell what I'd seen

Oh, but it isn't gonna be that way
It isn′t gonna be that way

You′ll just have to live and see what you find
And take it from there and follow the signs
Yeah, you think you can live and dream your own fate
You think you can wish and walk through the gate

Oh, it isn't gonna be that way
It isn′t gonna be that way
Hey, no, no, no, it isn't gonna be that way
It isn′t gonna be that way
Oh, oh, oh, no
