Dr. John - Guess Things Happen That Way Lyrics

Dr. John Lyrics

"Guess Things Happen That Way"
(originally by Johnny Cash)

You ask me if I'll forget my baby
Guess I will, someday
Don't like it but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll get along
Guess I will, someday
Don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

God gave me that girl to lean on
Then he put me on my own

Heaven help me to be a man
Have the strength to stand alone
Don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll miss her kisses
Guess I will, every day
Don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll find another
Don't know, can't say
Don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

God gave me that girl to lean on
Put me on my own

Heaven help me to be a man
Have the strength to stand alone
Don't like it but I guess things happen that way

God gave me that girl to lean on
Then he put me on my own

Heaven help me to be a man
Have the strength to stand alone
Don't like it, but guess things happen that way
Don't like it, but I guess things happen that way
Don't like it, but I guess things happen that way
