HOW IT GOES

[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."
