That's The Way It's Gonna Be Lyrics - Phil Ochs

If you say all the good times are gone 

If you say this rain will keep rainin' on 

I'll walk along with my head held high 

I'll find a song and I'll sing it to the sky 

I may be wrong but I'll live 'til I die 

That's the way it's gonna be 

Wait and see 

Even though you say hard times knock at my door 

Though you say I'll never smile any more 

I just imagine that I'm ten feet tall 

Then if I try I can climb the highest wall 

It doesn't matter if I slip down and fall 

That's the way it's gonna be 

Wait and see 

Even though you say I've reached the end of my row 

Though you say my times are all running low 

It's been so long since I tried to frown 

That 'Old Man Trouble' will never get me down 

It's all that easy when you know where you're bound 

That's the way it's gonna be 

Wait and see, just you wait and see 

Even though you say all the good times are gone 

Though you say this rain will keep rainin' on 

I'll walk along with my head held high 

I'll find a song and I'll sing it to the sky 

I may be wrong but I'll live 'til I die 

That's the way it's gonna be 

Wait and see, just you wait and see
