Get it wrong and everyone'll say
You get a boat out
Just to see it blown away
If you lie and think you're okay
You set a bone to break
Living on a little summer wage
Then break down
And you're fallin' all the way
Get it wrong and everyone'll say
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
I'll stay by your side
Til the darkness passesI'll stay by your side
Til the storm is through
Out alone you've gone a long ways
Got a weak will
And a thing you couldn't say
Never sank, you rowed a load over
The early mountain lake
Now you're on, you're farther on gone
Countin' on someone
That you say is just a pawn
Get it wrong and everyone'll say
Ain't that the way, ain't that the way
