mose allison - it didn't turn out that way lyrics

Loading...

when i was just a youngster
this man looked down and said
he said, what you gonna be when you grow up
i just know you’ll get ahead

but it didn’t turn out that way
it just didn’t turn out that way
no matter what that old man say
it just didn’t turn out that way

when i was a schoolboy
my teacher said to me
work hard, do right
you can be what you want to be

but it didn’t turn out that way
it just didn’t turn out that way
no matter what that teacher say
it just didn’t turn out that way

when i was a young man
i looking for a mate
i met this girl
and we declared we’d share a mutual fate

but it didn’t turn out that way
it just didn’t turn out that way
no matter what we used to say
it just didn’t turn out that way
well i became a wanderer
left my old life behind
i thought if i went far enough
i’d find my peace of mind

but it didn’t turn out that way
it just didn’t turn out that way
no matter what i’d like to say
it just didn’t turn out that way

- mose allison
