"The Way Things Go" lyrics - THOMAS RHETT

You know when you're young
And you know everything
The sky is the limit
And the grass is a little more green
Don't matter where you are

Yeah I coulda swore back when I was 15
I'd go to college and get my business degree
I never made it that far
I got a big ol' wrench in my plans
And put this guitar in my hands

So much for crystal balls
And wishing on stars
As you watchin' them fall to the ground
Yeah you can dream big
Or you can dream small
But it all comes down
To the luck of the draw so I've found
'Cause it's gonna rain
As soon as you wash your car
And as sure as you go on and give up
Your heart a curve gets thrown
That's the way things go

Yeah I would've tattooed her name on my arm
If you woulda asked me
I would've bet the whole dang farm
And more on us
So much for her being my meant to be
She changed her mind like the wind
And the joke was on me
She left me in the dust
If she hadn't left my heart black and blue
I would've never found you

So much for crystal balls
And wishing on stars
As you watchin' them fall to the ground
Yeah you can dream big
Or you can dream small
But it all comes down
To the luck of the draw so I've found
'Cause it's gonna rain
As soon as you wash your car
And as sure as you go on and give up
Your heart a curve gets thrown
That's the way things go

You'll never know if you took the right fork in the road
Until you get where you're going and it all unfolds

So much for crystal balls
And wishing on stars
As you watchin' them fall to the ground
Yeah you can dream big
Or you can dream small
But it all comes down
To the luck of the draw so I've found
'Cause it's gonna rain
As soon as you wash your car
And as sure as you go on and give up
Your heart a curve gets thrown
That's the way things go
