IT GOES LIKE IT GOES

sung by: Jennifer Warnes

Ain’t no miracle being born

People doin’ it everyday

Ain’t no miracle growin’ old

People just roll that way

So it goes like it goes

Like the river flows

And time it rolls right on

And maybe what’s good

Gets a little bit better

And maybe what’s bad gets gone

Bless the child of the workin’ man

She knows too soon who she is

And bless the hands of a workin’ man

He knows his soul is his

So it goes like it goes

Like the river flows

And time it rolls right on
And maybe what’s good
Gets a little bit better

And maybe what’s bad gets gone

Yeah, it goes like it goes

Like the river flows

And time keeps rollin’ on
And maybe what’s good

Gets a little bit better

And maybe what’s bad gets gone
