When you’re six you plant seeds in the backyard at home
Momma says water them sit back and watch them grow
It takes a little time but they’ll start popping up in rows
That’s just the way it goes
You spend a million miles in that back seat of your dad’s Ford
you’re too young you’re and before you know
You turn sixteen the and go your own
That’s just the way it goes
Then that you’ll harder
you’ve in your life
You’ll start wondering ’bout
Rings for sale and wedding bells
in down
you now
I’m that and hope
That’s just the way it goes
day you’ll trade that in for that’s way safer
that one for a house you’ll pay later
Start acting your daddy when you show your the ropes
That’s just the way it goes, mmm
Then that you’ll harder
you’ve in your life
You’ll start wondering ’bout
you’ll be up
and Tonka trucks
you now
I’m that and hope
That’s just the way it goes
‘Cause hairs gray and steps slow
Kids grow up and a of own
you that and that hand hold
together you grow old
That’s just the way it goes
When that you harder
you’ve in your life
You start wondering how
80 years by so fast
you’re just lucky have
A that’s always home
All the way that yeah, hope
That’s just the way it goes
That’s just the way it goes
hope
That’s just the way it goes
