It Didn't Turn Out That Way
When I was just a youngster this man looked down and said
He said (no matter) what you'll going be,
when you grown up I just know you'll get ahead
But it didn't turn out that way
It just didn't turn out that way
No matter what old man said
It just didn't turn out that way
When I was a schoolboy my teacher said to me
Work hard, do right you can be what you want to be
But it didn't turn out that way
It just didn't turn out that way
No matter what that teacher said
It just didn't turn out that way
When I was a young man I was looking for a mate
I met this girl and we declared we'd share a mutual fate
But it didn't turn out that way
It just didn't turn out that way
No matter what we used to say
It just didn't turn out that way
Well I became a wanderer, left my old life behind
I thought if I went far enough I'd find my peace of mind
But it didn't turn out that way
It just didn't turn out that way
No matter what I'd like to say
It just didn't turn out that way
He said (no matter) what you'll going be,
when you grown up I just know you'll get ahead
But it didn't turn out that way
It just didn't turn out that way
No matter what old man said
It just didn't turn out that way
When I was a schoolboy my teacher said to me
Work hard, do right you can be what you want to be
But it didn't turn out that way
It just didn't turn out that way
No matter what that teacher said
It just didn't turn out that way
When I was a young man I was looking for a mate
I met this girl and we declared we'd share a mutual fate
But it didn't turn out that way
It just didn't turn out that way
No matter what we used to say
It just didn't turn out that way
Well I became a wanderer, left my old life behind
I thought if I went far enough I'd find my peace of mind
But it didn't turn out that way
It just didn't turn out that way
No matter what I'd like to say
It just didn't turn out that way
