That's How It Goes - Robert Willey
You were once just a kid They would watch what you did Now you're out on your own All you got is a phone Just hit the road, that's how it goes. Goin' out for a walk Best get home before dark Don't know who you might meet And have to beat a retreat Just hit the road, that's how it goes. They will tell you "Look on the positive side. You're so lucky. It's up to you to decide." Take a knock on the chin Other times you cash in Get called in by the boss Sits you down says "Get lost." Just hit the road, that's how it goes. Get 'em ready, pack up your favorite stuff What you can carry in one trip should be enough. You don't know when you will die Until that day you must try To find your way to the best Be it the east or the west Just hit the road, that's how it goes. No more fun, time to run No more fuss, take the bus Don't be late for your date Drive a car, you'll go far Jump a bike or a trike Slip a boat cross the moat Jungle vine could be fine Jump a train, new terrain Pogo stick, not that quick Leave the lane on a plane Rocket ship, very hip Now's the time, the last rhyme.
