[Verse 1]
Lucy's got a fancy car
I bet it could go real far
But she don't leave home much
I ain't got no fancy mobile
But I sure do spin the wheels
She's jealous of me and I'm jealous of her love
I guess we never quite have enough

[Chorus]
But it's just the way that it goes
Sometimes the world, it feels awful slow
And it's just the way that it is
We all go fishin' 'til we're sick of fish
And it don't make no sense
We all dream of the green over that fence
And it comforts me to know
That it's just the way it goеs

[Verse 2]
Lucy's got a pretty house
And two little girls now
And a man who pays off thе bills
I've only got my mouth to feed
But I sure do get lonely
And she swears she's envious somehow

[Chorus]
But it's just the way that it goes
Sometimes the world, it feels awful slow
And it's just the way that it is
We all go fishin' 'til we're sick of fish
And it don't make no sense
But we all dream of the green over that fence
And it comforts me to know
That it's just the way it goes

[Outro]
It comforts me to know
That the world gave Lucy and I different kinds of gold
And life confused us both
