Ain't That Always The Way

Jeany loved Charlie with all of her might
But she missed the boy bad when he was working all night
Every day was the same but she wanted more
So Jeany took to leaving out of every door saying

Don't always know where you're goin'
May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
But baby, ain't that always the way

Oh baby, ain't that always the way
Reverend Jim was a preaching one night
Folks didn't know that those streets made of gold
He was a layin' his hands a just a little too tight
Jim headed down the road singing
We're paved with their money

Tommy practiced hard just to play the guitar

Don't always know where you're goin'
May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
But baby, ain't that always the way

Gonna make a million dollars, gonna be a big star
He fell In love with Betty and that all changed
He's happy playin' his guitar out on the front porch swing singing

Don't always know where you're goin'
May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
But baby, ain't that always the way
