The Way It WIll Be

Lyrics for The Way It WIll Be

I lost you a while ago, still, I don't know why I can't say your name without a crow flying by Gotta watch my back now that you turned me around Got me walking backwards into my hometown Throw me a rope on the rolling tide What did you want it to be? You said it's him or me Way you made it That's the way it will be We were seven years on the Burma shore With gatling guns and paint Working the lowlands door-to-door, like a latter-day Saint Then you turned me out at the top of the stair You took all the glory that you just couldn't share I've never been so disabused I've never been so mad I've never been served anything that tasted so bad You might need a friend any day now, any day Oh, my brother, be careful You are drifting away Throw me a rope on the rolling tide What did you want it to be? You said it's him or me Way you made it That's the way it will be Way you made it That's the way it will be
