The Bruisers - The Way It Goes lyrics

rate me

He bought the car for 500 bucks

It took every cent he had

With a cross taped to the dash for luck

Never wanted anything so bad

Nobody knew he left town that day

Cause they never know he was there

The funny looking kid with the cheap tattoos

And grease stuck in his hair

But he just said

That's the way it goes

When you're around nobody knows

And when your gone life goes on

With a loveless heart and a tank full of gas

He headed out onto the overpass

Gonna take that road wherever it goes

That was 4 or 5 years ago

And that old car's running still

He thinks about going back sometimes

But he knows that he never will

He's been playing with fire and he's been burned

And it's got him feeling low

He just laughs and turns the radio on

Cause that's the way it goes

But he just said

That's the way it goes

When you're around nobody knows

And when your gone life goes on

With a loveless heart and a tank full of gas

He headed out onto the overpass

Gonna take that road wherever it goes

He pulled into town around 9 o'clock

And that's when that old car died

On an empty street with no cars in sight

He just pushed it to the side

He looked up and saw that girl drive by

He just turned and watched her go

She was the best damn girl he'd ever seen

He just laughed cause that's the way it goes

But he just said

That's the way it goes

When you're around nobody knows

And when your gone life goes on

With a loveless heart and a tank full of gas

He headed out onto the overpass

Gonna take that road wherever it goes
