Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry go round that we call life Take a drive on cruise control then you wake to find its a winding road I had my dreams in view when the money ran out and the engine blew Hung my tears out to dry then my dreams fell out of that clear blue sky And I I was walkin' the clouds Feelin' so safe and sound Somethin' else knocks my down CHOURS: Well oh that's the way it is, you gotta roll with the punches That's the way it goes, you gotta bend when the wind blows You live you learn, you crash and burn its hit or miss Thats the way it is One fine day you wake up, completely, hopelessly fallin in love He's jsut what you're lookin for the only problem is that the man's not sure Another guy'll give you everything only probem is you dont feel a thing Well I know from experience nothing's ever gonna make perfect sense Oh, one day you get what you want But it's not want you think Then get what you need REPEAT CHOURS Yeah, they say your soul is growin' but Sometimes I feel like throwin somethin' LAST CHORUS And that's the way it is, you gotta roll with the punches That's the way it goes, you gotta bend when the wind blows That's the way it is, you gotta roll with the punches That's the way it goes, you gotta ben when the wind blows You live,you learn, you crash and That's the way it is That's the way it is That's the way it is That's the way it goes That's the way it goes
