That's The Way Lyrics - Burn - Jo Dee Messina

Everybody wants an easy ride 

On the merry-go-round that we call life 

Take your drive on cruise control 

Then you wait to find out it's a winding road 

I had my dreams in view 

When the money ran out and the engine blew 

Hung my tears out to dry 

Then my dreams fell out of that clear blue sky 

And I, I was walkin' the clouds 

Feelin' so safe and sound 

Then somethin' else knocks me down 

Well, oh, that's the way it is 

You gotta roll with the punches 

That's the way it goes 

You gotta bend when the wind blows 

You live, you learn 

You crash and burn 

It's hit or miss 

And that's the way it is 

One fine day you wake up 

Completely, hopelessly fallen in love 

He's just what you're lookin' for 

The only problem is that the man's not sure 

Another guy will give you everything 

Only problem is you don't feel a thing 

Well I know from experience 

Nothings ever gonna make perfect sense 

Oh, one day you get what you want 

But it's not what you think 

Then you get what you need 

Well, oh, that's the way it is 

You gotta roll with the punches 

That's the way it goes 

You gotta bend when the wind blows 

You live, you learn 

You crash and burn 

It's hit or miss 

And that's the way it is 

Yeah, they say your soul is growin' 

But sometimes I feel like throwin' somethin' 

And that's the way it is 

You gotta roll with the punches 

And that's the way it goes 

You gotta bend when the wind blows 

And that's the way it is 

You gotta roll with the punches 

That's the way it goes 

You gotta bend when the wind blows 

You live, you learn 

You crash and burn 

It's hit or miss 

Oh, and that's the way it is 

Oh, that's the way it is, yeah 

That's the way it is 

That's the way it is 

You gotta roll with the punches 

Oh, you gotta bend when the wind blows 

Oh, that's the way it goes 

That's the way it is 

That's the way it goes, oh yeah 

You gotta roll with the punches 

That's the way it is 

That's the way it is
