Ceili Rain - These Things Have A Way Of Working Out lyrics

Late late for my date with Lindy Lou Lead foot doin' 99 Officer please try'n' understand He said: "The bottom of the ticket's where you pay your fine" I pull up and she says: "It's over, boy" I couldn't fight back the tears Well Lindy Lou is the Missus now And I haven't had a ticket in 22 years These things have a way of workin' out These things have a way of workin' out Lord knows what it's all about but These things have a way of workin' out Swing swing then I swing and miss again Last out of the final game Slugger boy cries all the way home Heads down to the basement in rage and shame Bang bang my fist on the piano keys But that sound kinda set me free Well now baseball's just in the papers But rock'n'roll been berry good to me These things have a way of workin' out These things have a way of workin' out Lord knows what it's all about These things have a way of workin' out You don't get what you want- at least not yet You don't get what you need But do you get what you get? Boy, you bet-hey! Tough times for myself and the family The day came we had to sell the farm You can pray and you can think good thoughts But nobody's ever really safe from harm Pack up and we hit the highway A new road where the old one ends A few kind words, a few smiles and Hope is back in business again These things have a way of workin' out These things have a way of workin' out Lord knows what it's all about but These things have a way of workin' out
