Ain't That Always The Way

Jeany loved Charlie with all of her might

But she missed the boy bad when he was working all night

Every day was the same but she wanted more

So Jeany took to leaving out of every door saying

Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'

Don't always know where you're goin'

May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah

But baby, ain't that always the way

Oh baby, ain't that always the way

Reverend Jim was a-preaching one night

He was a-layin' his hands a-just a little too tight

Folks didn't know that those streets made of gold

Were paved with their money

Jim headed down the road, singing

Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'

Don't always know where you're goin'

May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah

But baby, ain't that always the way

Oh baby, ain't that always the way

Tommy practiced hard just to play the guitar

Gonna make a million dollars, gonna be a big star

He fell in love with Betty and that all changed

He's happy playin' his guitar out on the front porch swing, singing

Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'

Don't always know where you're goin'

May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah

But baby, ain't that always the way

Oh baby, ain't that always the way
