That's The Way It's Gonna Be

Okay, I wanna do these two songs here, um, that

From melodies that, uh, Bob Gibson gave me

The first one's non-topical

I guess it's called, uh, uh, what's it called?

"That's The Way It's Gonna Be"

It's the same, um—

This is the original melody that he gave me that I took Medgar Evers off of

This, adopted off this melody, off the break in it

If you say all the good times are gone

If you say this rain will keep rainin' on

I'll walk along with my head held high

I'll find a song and I'll sing it to the sky

I may be wrong but I'll live 'til I die

That's the way it's gonna be

Wait and see

Even though you say hard times knock at my door

Though you say I'll never smile any more

I just imagine that I'm ten feet tall

Then if I try I can climb the highest wall

It doesn't matter if I slip down and fall

That's the way it's gonna be

Wait and see

Even though you say reached the end of my row

Though you say my times are all running low

It's been so long since I tried to frown

That Old Man Trouble will never get me down

It's all that easy when you know where you're bound

That's the way it's gonna be

Wait and see

Just you wait and see

Even though you say

(Mistake there - Even though you're saying)

All the good times are gone

Though you say this rain will keep rainin' on

I'll walk along with my head held high

I'll find that song and I'll sing it to the sky

I may be wrong but I'll live 'til I die

That's the way it's gonna be

Wait and see

Just you wait and see
