The Way Things Are Goin'

(albüm: Hard Rain Don't Last - 2000)

The way things are going in my life
I'm headed for disaster
Living fast and faster
A rebel on a roller coaster ride
That's the way things are going in my life

The very folks that mean the most to me
They're as distant as the sunset
I need 'em every one yet
I hurt 'em till they just can't hardly be
The very folks that mean the most to me

It would be easy to abandon
A man who's so demanding
But somehow she's still standing here with me
If I could conjure up a miracle
Find comfort in the spiritual
I guess I'd pray for some serenity...but that ain't me

And the way things are going in my life
I guess it won't be long now
Oh before she's gone now
She might say goodbye just to prove me right
That's the way things are going in my life

It would be easy to abandon
A man who's so demanding
But somehow she's still standing here with me
If I could conjure up a miracle
Find comfort in the spiritual
I guess I'd pray for some serenity

I guess it won't be long now
Oh before she's gone now
She might say goodbye just to prove me right
That's the way things are going in my life
Yeah, that's the way things are going in my life
