Cantrell Laura Way It Is Lyrics

Way It Is Lyrics

It was a beautiful idea when it started,

It hit so hard, I never thought it through.

Leaving the west side of town,

way on up riverside rushing down,

that's the freest moment a city girl knew. 



I've got the beauty of the moment,

passed so quickly,

Now the tingle and the chill got me confused.

So as I buckle down, why knuckle you 'round.

Those free moments feel so fare and few.



That's just the way it is

That's just the way it is

An I can't help myself at all

That's just the way it is



I see you crossing the street,

come and meet me.

Like an image come to mind too long ago.

Well there's a smile across your mouth

those eyes are looking south.

If I could see them what would they let me know?



That's just the way it is

That's just the way it is

An I can't help myself at all

That's just the way it is



I looked and found them lost and started

I've sown and reeded and plowed the ground once more

I laid my hammer down, wandered this city all around

Ended up on the streets I walked before



That's just the way it is

That's just the way it is

An I can't help myself at all

That's just the way it is



That's just the way it is

That's just the way it is

An I can't help myself at all

That's just the way it is
