The Way It Is! - Porter

Let me tell you about the state I’m in

I got my life held together with a safety pin

Had a vision back in 93' when I wrote a little song about a lemon tree

I could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood

This is now and that was then

I never went back again

I had a goldfish and a love that died

I got a heart beating faster on the darker side

Want to find a place to hide my bones with an orange guitar and a microphone

Jack was nimble jack was quick Jack took out the candlestick

He touched the fire and felt the pain

And he never went back again

Let me tell you about the faith I’ve found

Got a train ride and a ticket when I’m heaven bound

Won’t you let me take you by the hand and I’ll lead you from the platform to

the promised land

Chase your tail or chase your goals who knows what the future holds

Hold your breath and count to ten but never go back again

Let me tell you about the state I’m in

I got my life held together with a safety pin

Want to find a place to hide my bones with an orange guitar and a microphone

It could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood

That was then and this is now its gotta come good some how

It could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood

That was then and this is now its gotta come good some how

That’s just the way it is
