The Drexel Dance Kings - It's Just the Way Lyrics

I set my sights I was running for the outside
As far away as I could ever be
Found religion in a bottle of rum watched the bottom fallout in a Tucson club
But it's just the way that it's always been

Counting nickels and scraping by
In a place where only good folks die
And the rest are left to fight among themselves

I don't know if it's the heat
That sets them to fighting out in the street
But everybody down here got a little somethin' somethin' to sell

It's just the way that it's always been
It's just the way that it's always been

Battles fought, won and lost
In the corner of a county cell
Calling collect from the Butler County jail

I don't know but I believe
In most I hear and all I see
But I ain't gonna say ain't gotta story to tell
Everybody down this ways got a story to tell

There's some real VIP's living out on the streets
But everybodies got a debt they must pay
Ain't nobody round here gonna save them with a song

I set my sights on the border lights
And I can be there just before dawn
As the town awakes and the great escape begins

It's just the way that it's always been
It's just the way that it's always been
It's just the way that it's always been
It's just the way that it's always been
