Steve Forbert - It Isn't Gonna Be That Way lyrics

You've traveled so far The wind in your face You're thinking you've found The one special place Where all your dreams Will walk out in line And follow the course You've made in your mind Hey, it isn't gonna be that way It isn't gonna be, that way I came on my own And felt much like you I thought I was king And knew what to do But everything burned And fell from my hand I had to turn back Or build a new plan ‘Cause it isn't gonna be that way It isn't gonna be, that way No, it isn't gonna be that way It isn't gonna be, that way [Harmonica and Instrumental Bridge] If I were a god I'd give you a clue This minute would crack And I could go through And walk out in time Where no one has been I'd come back to you And tell what I'd seen Oh, but it isn't gonna be that way It isn't gonna be, that way You'll just have to live And see what you find And take it from there And follow the signs Yeah, you think you can live And dream your own fate You think you can wish And walk through the gate Oh, it isn't gonna be that way It isn't gonna be that way And n-n-n-no It isn't gonna be that way It isn't gonna be-ah-e, that way Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, ooh [Long Instrumental and Harmonica Outro]
