Steve Forbert - It Is What It Is (And That's All) lyrics

Fell for this dream girl in Danville Just in the Central Time zone I used to k** hours to meet her on time And then lost one as well drivin' home Mexican boy on Doheny SeIlin' a map to stars' homes Maybe he's homeless And maybe they're gone And the afternoon traffic rolls on Driving a Jaguars impressive But you can't watch it go by And the Manhattan skyline is a sight to behold But prob'ly best through New Jersey-based eyes It is what it is and that's all What are you going to do? Will some fool look up on a clear day and say "That the sky's not a true enough blue?" It never much rains, but it's pouring Everything happens at once Flat tires and light bulbs while picture frames fall From the wall where they've hung fine for months It is what it is and that's all Lay down a mat by the door Will some fool rush in from a cloud burst and say "Hell, I'm soaked and I'm totally bored?" Out there by the interstate the duplex I call home Ain't quite the quietest place on earth to catch your breath Non-stop highway sound makes backyard picnics out to lunch Fact is my next-door neighbor's fine completely deaf Maybe you wish you had money Then you might think you could live Life is so brief you may think time a thief Better live for whatever it gives Pondering the future, you worry Listen, somehow you'll get through Then you'll look backwards and long for the things That you'll find it's then too late to do It is what it is and that's all When are you going to see? Friends tell you true and your granddad did, too But you won't take advice that comes free Get what you want you don't want it Not even glad while you eat Wait for your flight, while the heavyweights fight And the planes try to land in the sleet It is what it is and that's all And birds can't row boats, baby blue Will some fool sit stuck on the runway and say "Hell, it's only me this happens to?" It is what it is and that's all It is what it is and that's all
