Lyrics
Thats How It Goes
Words & Music by Thomas Tognaci
See the dude in the cowboy hat
belly up at the bar?
He just lost some pretty little thing
Who dropped him for a car
So, there he sits, taking hits,
Crying in his beer
drinking rounds to drown the hounds
he cannot bear to hear
Thats how it goes
Theres just no use in crying
You can lay the blame
But in your heart, youd know youre lying
Thats how it goes
You may sink, or you might swim
but if you cant get wet
best not jump in
Take the old man in the souped-up Vet
with that darling by his side
You gotta wonder whos the fool
taking who for a ride
These are the days, anyways,
Sign me up for some
pretty words from pretty birds
with lovely silver tongues
well.
Thats how it goes
Theres just no use in crying
You can play the game
But in your heart, youd know youre lying
Thats how it goes
You may sink, or you might swim
but if you cant get wet
best not jump in
Now, theres a guy who gets it right
You wont see him fall apart
Hes the kind that will keep his head
With matters of the heart
He keeps it cool, hes no fool
He knows, with romance,
its better to love and lose
than to never give love a chance
Thats how it goes
Theres just no use in crying
You can play the game
No extra point for trying
Thats how it goes
You may sink, or you might swim
but, if you dont get wet
youll never win
Great lyrics. Amazing vocal tone and presentation. Magnificent Guitar playing. Brilliant work.
