Ain't That the Way Lyrics

I asked God for a good job
He put me on a plane
He put me on a plane
All of the people that, that I love
The people that I'm from
Are far a hoo yodel o' tee yodel o' away
At home unpacking dirty clothes
Sleeping in my coat
Eating in a car
Living in a bar
Oh Goodness
Ain't that the way?
I asked God for a good man
But I forgot to say

I want to see him every day
I try to remember the, the Goose Poop Pond
Even with the swinging oak
Is never as fresh as you hope
The neighbor baby in the mud
Getting dirty in the sun
The washing on a wire
Potatoes in a tire
Oh Goodness
Ain't that the way?
If you got honey in your mug
Liquor in the cupboard
Water on the stove
Sugar on the phone
Oh Goodness, Ain't that the way
Oh Goodness, Ain't that the way
Oh Goodness, Ain't that the way
Ah Goodness, Ain't that the way
Your on your own
Your on the way home
New Ry Cooder on the radio
Your Cooking for one
Re-watching an old video
And hear in the distance
Hearing they miss you
Fonder and fonder I go
Your on your own
Your on the way home
Rye Cooter on the radio
Your Cooking for one
Watching an old video
And hear in the distance
Hearing they miss you
Fonder and fonder I go
Last verse repeats and fades away
