Way It Goes

Well I know we gonna make it but take it slow
You never know what you're gonna get
Say you live your life like Russian roulette
And I know, I know
I know you can't live your life on the run
My daddy told me listen my son
Do what I say don't do what I've done

I'm not the best at most the things I try and do
I make a mess out of most things, well yes, it's true
But I still climb to the top, before I get to ride it down
And I don't raise a deal about the things
That I have done and found

'Cause I'm, well, just a man, but a man got a lot to lose
Got a lot of choice to make with not a whole lot of choice to chose
Do I accept my fate or do I go and refuse
Got to force to state and I gots to state the truths
And that's the problem, well
There ain't no right or wrong, I say
One's about, well, getting ahead
The one's about, well, getting gone

And I, well I know we gonna make it but we'll take it slow
You never know what you gonna get
You say you live your life like Russian roulette
And I know, I know
Well, I know you can't well live your life on the run
And my daddy told me listen my son
Do what I say don't do what I've done

But I ain't calling for no outs or immunities
I got my problems, but I'm solving them when I'm in the sea
'Cause the finer things are nothing, said my future wife
So I told her, everything else must cost me more than my life
But I know, well that's just the way it goes
And I know, the way it goes is the way it goes
And I know, if I don't make it, there'll be a good reason
But if I'm stuck here by next year
I'm just getting up and I'm leaving
'Cause, that's the problem
There ain't no right or wrong, I said
One's about, well, getting ahead
The other's about, well, getting gone

It's a choice if you stop
But it ain't one if there's no use
Gotta climb to the very, very top
Well, if you want the best of the views, then it's true

And I know, and I know
Well, I know we gonna make it but we'll take it slow
You never know what you gonna get, yeah
Say you live your life like Russian roulette
Well I know, I know
I know you can't well live your life on the run
My dad would told me listen my son
Do what I say don't do what I've done
What I've done
