John Sebastian - You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine lyrics

Mom and Dad had trouble just gettin' along So they split each in their own way Now one lives here and one lives there And my wife's folks did the same Now we got a son He's got next to no one Everybody's so spread out He's got his next of kin right next to him But after that we've learned to say You go your way and I'll go mine Ain't that how it is nowadays People drift away in time You go your way and I'll go mine I had a secret love She used to wake me up in the mornin' With her kiss of fire But then the fire cooled She moved away to school I couldn't help but think the timin' was right It was the other day I saw an older face and stopped To see if we could still be friends You know her special one He wasn't havin' none He said haven't you learned to say You go your way.... So if there's just one person In the whole wide world And you love 'em like an only friend You better let 'em know, you better tell 'em so A better chance may never come again Now there's friends and lovers and hangers out And one thing that makes them all the same That's in this lonely life You take this boy's advice You better watch how many times you say You go your way...
