The Way Things Go

You know when you're young and you know everything
The sky is the limit and the grass is a little more green
No matter where you are
I could have sworn back when I was 15
I'd go to college and get my business degree
I never made it that far
God put a big old wrench in my plans
And he put this guitar in my hands
So much for crystal balls and wishing on stars
As you're watching them fall to the ground
Yeah, you can dream big and you can dream small
But it all comes down to the luck of the draw so I found
'Cause it's gonna rain as soon as you wash your car
And as sure as you go on and give up your heart a curve gets thrown
That's the way things go, oh oh
Yeah, I would have tattooed her name on my arm
If you would have asked me
I'd bet the whole damn farm and more on us
So much for her being my 'meant to be'
She changed her mind like the wind and the joke was on me
She left me in the dust
If she hadn't left my heart black and blue
I would have never found you
So much for crystal balls and wishing on stars
As you're watching them fall to the ground
Yeah, you can dream big and you can dream small
But it all comes down to the luck of the draw so I found
'Cause it's gonna rain as soon as you wash your car
And as sure as you go on and give up your heart a curve gets thrown
That's the way things go
You'll never know if you took the right fork in the road
Until you get where you're going and it all unfolds
So much for crystal balls and wishing on stars
As you're watching them fall to the ground
Yeah, you can dream big and you can dream small
But it all comes down to the luck of the draw so I found
'Cause it's gonna rain as soon as you wash your car
And as sure as you go on and give up your heart a curve gets thrown
That the way things go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
