| Jeany loved Charlie with all of her might
|
| But she missed the boy bad when he was working all night
|
| Every day was the same but she wanted more
|
| So Jeany took to leaving out of every door saying
|
| Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
|
| Don’t always know where you’re goin'
|
| May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
|
| But baby, ain’t that always the way
|
| Oh baby, ain’t that always the way
|
| Reverend Jim was a-preaching one night
|
| He was a-layin' his hands a-just a little too tight
|
| Folks didn’t know that those streets made of gold
|
| Were paved with their money
|
| Jim headed down the road, singing
|
| Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
|
| Don’t always know where you’re goin'
|
| May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
|
| But baby, ain’t that always the way
|
| Oh baby, ain’t that always the way
|
| Tommy practiced hard just to play the guitar
|
| Gonna make a million dollars, gonna be a big star
|
| He fell in love with Betty and that all changed
|
| He’s happy playin' his guitar out on the front porch swing, singing |
| Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
|
| Don’t always know where you’re goin'
|
| May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
|
| But baby, ain’t that always the way
|
| Oh baby, ain’t that always the way |
