[Verse 1]
I couldn't wait to ride my bike
One little bell and two big tires
I fell and scraped my knee and cried
I took my first love to the dance
I pulled her close and we held hands
She dumped me in front of my friends
[Chorus]
And my dad said, "Oh
One day you'll know
That's just how it goes."
[Verse 2]
I got my first job down at J's
He told me I deserved a raise
He let me go in 30 days
Great Grandma Gail was 83
They said she's too far gone to treat
I asked her why she had to leave
[Chorus]
And she said, "Oh
One day you'll know
That's just how it goes."
[Bridge]
I'll spend forever tryna make sense of the madness
But it all just seems so cruel
I'll spend forever tryna stop it all from happening
When there's nothing I can do
Oh
[Verse 3]
One day I'll buy my kid a bike
One little fall, he'll start to cry
Look up at me and ask me "Why?"
[Chorus]
And I'll say, "Oh
I don't know
But that's just how it goes."
