Becky Johnson bought the farm Put a needle in her arm That's the way that it goes That's the way And her brother laid her down In the cold Kentucky ground That's the way that it goes That's the way That's the way that it goes Everybody's buying little baby clothes That's the way that it ends Though there was a time when she and I were friends Well Miranda ran away Took her cat and left LA That's the way that it goes That's the way She was busted broke and flat Had to sell that ***** cat That's the way that it goes That's the way That's the way that it goes Everybody's buying little baby clothes That's the way that it ends Though there was a time when he and I were friends See the brightest ones of all Early in October fall That's the way that it goes That's the way While the dark ones go to bed With good whiskey in their head That's the way that it goes That's the way
Now Billy Joe's back in the tank You tell Russo I'll tell Frank That's the way that it goes That's the way Did he throw her down a well Did she leave him for that swell That's the way that it goes That's the way That's the way that it goes Everybody's buying little baby clothes That's the way that it ends Though there was a time when all of us were friends When you lay me down to rest Leave a pistol in my vest That's the way that it goes That's the way Do you miss my gentle touch Did I hurt you very much That's the way that it goes That's the way
That's the way that it goes Everybody's buying little baby clothes That's the way that it ends Though there was a time When you and I were friends
