That’s The Way It Is Lyrics by Gary Morris

Hits

0

When I was a boy and the well ran dry
I went to my daddy and I looked him in the eye
I said daddy how bout a loan
Well, he looked at me I could see it in his face
As he reached in his pocket to the money place
He said Sonny, I'm down to the bone
It takes everything just to get by
When you think you got enough
The prices just go higher
They go on and on
Chorus:
Well I work real hard but some never will
They take my money and they eat their fill
It ain't fair son
Aww but that's the way it is
It ain't fair son but you know
That's the way it is
Well I swore right then and I swore right there
When I grew up I'd have money to spare
And then some for nothin' at all
Well it was easy to save but hard to do
And if it don't get better than 82 I'll be lucky
If I make it till fall
I gotta sing my boy the same damn song
When you think you got enough
The prices just go higher
They go on an on
(Chorus)
I gotta sing my boy the same damn song
When you think you got enough
The prices just go higher
They go on an on
(Chorus)
