She wore faded jeans and soft black leather She had eyes so blue they looked like weather When she needed me I wasn't around That's the way it goes, it'll all work out There were times apart, there were times together I was pledged to her for worse or better When it mattered most I let her down That's the way it goes, it'll all work out It'll all work out eventually Better off with him than here with me It'll all work out eventually Maybe better off with him than here with me Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy And the water's rising in the levee Still I think of her when the sun goes down It never goes away, but it all works out
