Just the Way It Goes Lyrics

FalzaranoI got my ducks in a row, now I'm gonna shoot them down
Unpack my suitcase and leave this town
Get a ticket for a jet airliner
Then walk all the way down to Carolina
Find a hammer a chisel and a rock
Stick them all in a velvet lined box with a lock
Then I'm gonna leave them there till all hell breaks loose
Then take them out and carve a statue for you.I'm glad you decided to catch the wind
I hope it takes you someplace you've never been
But should you pass this way again ?
Then I hope you like the statue.
Dancing with the ghost of the way things used to be
Dreaming inside a dream, haunted by a memory
That never was and never will be
But that's alright, you know, that's alright with me.I'm glad you decided to catch the wind
I hope it takes you someplace you've never been
But should you pass this way again ?
Then I hope you like the statue.Sitting here in the Desert Queen Café drinking coffee, eating toast

I can hear your favorite song playing on the kitchen radio
If you were here right now
Instead of these scrambled eggs and hashed browns
There's nothing more I could say to you that you don't already know.I'm glad you decided to catch the wind
I hope it takes you someplace you've never been
But should you pass this way again ?
Then I hope you like the statue.
When the spell is broken by the morning light
And the blush is off the rose
It's best you leave last night in last night
It's just the way it goes.
