The Flatlanders - The Way We Are lyrics

Every night you and I catch a wandering eye We stand out like trees in cotton rows It ain't a look, it ain't a style we might throw Down after a while It's the way we are and that's the way it goes Chorus The way we are, the way we are You might think we fell right off the same bright star, the way we are Never had a dream so good to me so far It don't leave nothing much to say, the way we are I'd lost my mind riding on the 99 When you found me singing sad and low And at the end of the track, you took my hand And led me back To the happy song I'd left so long ago Chorus It might be, I might say, we weren't born to be this way There's a million ways they say and this I see But it occurred to me last night, when I saw you standing in the moonlight If I die this way that'll be okay with me The way we are, the way we are You might think we fell right off the same bright star, the way we are Never had a dream so good to me so far I never thought I would meet someone who Would share a fate like ours It don't leave nothing much to say the way we are
