Everybody wants an easy ride
On the merry-go-round that we call life
Take the drive on cruise control
Then you wake to find it's a windin' road
I had my dreams in view
When the money ran out and the engine blew
Hung my tears out to dry
Then my dreams fell out of that clear blue sky
And I, I was walkin' the clouds
Feelin' so safe and sound
Somethin' else knocks me down
Oh, that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
That's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live you learn, you crash and burn
It's hit or miss
That's the way it is
One fine day you wake up
Completely hoplessly fallen in love
He's just what you're lookin' for
The only problem is that the man's not sure
Another guy'll give you everything
Only problem is you don't feel a thing
Well, I know from experience
Nothing's ever gonna make perfect sense
Oh, one day you get what you want, but it's not what you think
Then you get what you need
Well, oh, that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
That's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live you learn, you crash and burn
It's hit or miss
That's the way it is
Yeah, they say your soul is goin' but
Sometimes I feel like throwing somethin'
Oh, that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
That's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
That's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
That's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live you learn, you crash and burn
It's hit or miss
That's the way it is
