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.
