It looks like Lady Luck
Was never on your side
She held her hand outstretched
Insisting that you be her neighbor bride
A momentary lapse
Believing you believe her cause
The words that pull her in
Are the very same that give you pause
She's always goin' away
She's always goin' away
She's always goin' away
When you need her most
She's goin' away
Oooohhh
Oooohhh
You felt like you were known
Like you were understood
Turns out she answers to
What she calls a "greater good"
For years you worked together
We knew you as a team
But in the end it shows
A pipe dream's still a dream
She's always goin' away
She's always goin' away
She's always goin' away
When you need her most
She's goin' away
It's easy to be angry
At the people above
But how can you hate
The ones that you love
Strip away the meaning
And strip away the church
Forget about the distance
And stay
She's always goin' away
She's always goin' away
She's always goin' away
When you need her most
When you need her most
She's goin' away
