Take It As It Comes Lyrics - Beth Nielsen Chapman

Rita's out on the street tonight 

Drivin' through the rain 

She's got lots of new reasons not to trust any man again 

And even though she'll be alright 

She'll never be the same 

She'll move closer to her Mama, let her daughter keep her Daddy's name 

Sometimes you've only got one road and it's a rocky ride 

Sometimes there isn't time to think about the tears you've cried 

You take it as it comes 

When you've got no way to hide from the hurtin' inside 

When there's nowhere you can really run 

You take it as it comes 

Rita's out on the street tonight 

Midnight feels so strange 

She's got her baby in the car seat 

Her sleeping face flashin' as the signals change 

They roll up to the corner for the seventh time 

As they circle around the square 

While the movie crowd is spilling out across the street 

Rita sits at that light and stares 

And she wonders if there's any reason in the world to try 

And she glances at her little girl and she remembers why 

You take it as it comes 

When you've got no way to hide from the hurtin' inside 

When there's nowhere you can really run 

You take it as it comes 

And one foot goes in front of the other 

And one day rolls into the next 

Sometimes you've got to let your heart be numb 

And take it as it comes 

(Rita's out on the street tonight) 

When you've got no way to hide from the hurtin' inside 

(Drivin' through the rain) 

When there's nowhere you can really run 

You take it as it comes 

(Rita's out on the street tonight) 

When you've got no way to hide from the hurtin' inside 

(Drivin' through the rain) 

When there's nowhere you can really run 

You take it as it comes 

(Rita's out on the street tonight) 

When you've got no way to hide from the hurtin' inside 

(Drivin' through the rain) 

When there's nowhere you can really run 

You take it as it comes 

(Rita's out on the street tonight) 

When you've got no way to hide from the hurtin' inside 

(Drivin' through the rain) 

When there's nowhere you can really run 

You take it as it comes 

(Rita's out on the street tonight) 

When you've got no way to hide from the hurtin' inside 

(Drivin' through the rain)
