Ain't That the Way

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
