The Way It Goes Lyrics

Cover art for The Way It Goes lyrics by Dispatch

Oh wow.. Core memory unlocked! This song is based on a childhood nursery rhyme. I grew up in Mass and when I was little, my parents and aunts and uncles would sit us kids on their knees, hold our hands and bounce us up and down and sing ‘trot trot to Boston, trot trot to Lynn (a nearby town), watch out baby - you’re gonna fall INNNN!!!’ And then they’d open their knees and drop us upside down almost to the ground and we’d yell and laugh - it was SO much fun! I don’t know if there is a deeper meaning to this song, but 100% it’s based on that.
