歌詞

Reading the paper at Roy’s café

The old man beside me, loud all day

He talked non-stop while eating his meal

Dropped his wallet, now it’s mine to steal

Sorry, old man, that’s just how life goes

No use complaining, nobody knows

Won’t change a thing, won’t ease the pain

Better take it easy, it’s all the same

I grabbed the wallet and hit the street

Wandered the city, moving my feet

Found a little corner to hide away

But no cash inside, couldn’t make it pay

Sorry, old man, that’s just how life goes

No use complaining, nobody knows

Won’t change a thing, won’t ease the pain

Better take it easy, it’s all the same

Thirsty, I headed straight to the bar

A pretty girl came and stole my heart

Next morning woke, couldn’t believe my eyes

She took my car, and love, to my surprise

Sorry, old man, that’s just how life goes

No use complaining, nobody knows

Won’t change a thing, won’t ease the pain

Better take it easy, it’s all the same

Wanted my heart back, oh no, ah-huh

But destiny, man, doesn’t give a shove!
