It Isn't Gonna Be That Way - Steve Forbert

You’ve traveled so far

The wind in your face

You’re thinking you’ve found

The one special place

Where all your dreams

Will walk out in line

And follow the course

You’ve made in your mind

Hey, it isn’t gonna be that way

It isn’t gonna be, that way

I came on my own

And felt much like you

I thought I was king

And knew what to do

But everything burned

And fell from my hand

I had to turn back

Or build a new plan

‘Cause it isn’t gonna be that way

It isn’t gonna be, that way

No, it isn’t gonna be that way

It isn’t gonna be, that way

If I were a god

I’d give you a clue

This minute would crack

And I could go through

And walk out in time

Where no one has been

I’d come back to you

And tell what I’d seen

Oh, but it isn’t gonna be that way

It isn’t gonna be, that way

You’ll just have to live

And see what you find

And take it from there

And follow the signs

Yeah, you think you can live

And dream your own fate

You think you can wish

And walk through the gate

Oh, it isn’t gonna be that way

It isn’t gonna be that way

And n-n-n-no

It isn’t gonna be that way

It isn’t gonna be-ah-e, that way

Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, ooh
