The Way Things Are Goin'

The way things are goin' in my life

I'm headed for disaster, livin' fast and faster

A rebel on a roller coaster ride

That's the way things are goin' in my life

The very folks that mean the most to me

They're as distant as the sunset, I need 'em, every one yet

I hurt 'em till they just can't hardly be

The very folks that mean the most to me

It would be easy to abandon a man who's so demandin'

But somehow she's still standin' here with me

If I could conjure up a miracle, find comfort in the spiritual

I guess I'd pray for some serenity, but that ain't me

And the way things are goin' in my life

I guess it won't be long now, oh, before she's gone now

She might say goodbye just to prove me right

That's the way things are goin' in my life

It would be easy to abandon a man who's so demandin'

But somehow she's still standin' here with me

If I could conjure up a miracle, find comfort in the spiritual

I guess I'd pray for some serenity

It would be easy to abandon a man who's so demandin'

But somehow she's still standin' here with me

If I could conjure up a miracle, find comfort in the spiritual

I guess I'd pray for some serenity

I guess it won't be long now, oh, before she's gone now

She might say goodbye just to prove me right

That's the way things are goin' in my life

Yeah, that's the way things are goin' in my life
