I gave a wink and a smile,
To all the people passed by,
To all the people I've been goodbye for now,
Don't want to leave you alone,
But I really must go,
Goodbye to everyone till I return,
Wish I could drink for the nerves,
Wish I could hide behind the words,
Wish I could look at God and say That's the way it goes,
That's the way it goes.
Today's the day that I feared
I have to play it by ear,
Been told that everyone will stand right here,
So let the trial begin
All the judges are in,
Pass sentence now before I fly right in
Wish I could drink for the nerves,
Wish I could hide behind the words,
Wish I could look at God and say That's the way it goes,
That's the way it goes.
