Song Of Fate

Music Intro
Just leavin' home, into a brand new world, when on the side of the road I see a beautiful girl,
With her thumb stuck out, it's my lucky day.
She was pretty as the day is long, & I was good with the ladies, handsome & strong,
so I was happy, to let her have her way. She showed me-
The grass is always greener, life is always keener---On the other side
She picked me for goodness sake, of all the choices she could make---
I'm fallin' in love, this must be fate.
She loved me while the money flowed like wine, & we were havin' a real good time,
til the green river ran dry, now she ain't got the time.
I'm left so broken hearted, I wish I never woulda started,
pickin' her up, bein' at her beck and call. She showed me-
The grass ain't always greener, life ain't always keener---On the other side
What a mess of life we make, when we never give, and always take,
This broken heart, I really hate.
Music Break
Now I think about the days, I treated other women that way.
I didn't know the other shoe was gettin' ready to fall, Now I know that-
The grass ain't always greener, life ain't always keener---On the other side
What a mess of life we make, when we never give, and always take,
This broken heart, I really hate.
Yeh, this broken heart, I really hate...but it must be fate
