Always The Way - James Reyne

Your smile was so disarming

You’d better mind your own affair

Picking up the pieces

Of a life that shone in tatters

You’re gonna come back if you dare

Ain’t it always the way

You get just one chance

Ain’t it always the way

Ain’t it always the way

You’d better learn to mind your business

Watch out for your own

Sail your boat on placid bays

You’d better learn to keep the big ship

On the straight and narrow

Let the first mate cast away

And then along comes the day

And then along comes the day

Be a winner

A dead ringer for the truth

Will the circle be unbroken

Be a master of your destiny

This is not a joke

Always the way
