The Wayoooh

When you get got. Lyrics below: [Verse 1] Thought I had it handled Life lined up in a row Savings in the bank, new tires on Checklists all in tow Tank hit “0 miles to empty” Heart jumped, knuckles white Glided into that station, laughing “Guess I cheated fate tonight” [Chorus] Sometimes you get away from the wayoooh Sometimes the wayoooh gets its way with you You can win ‘bout ninety-nine times out of a hundred But that last one’s waitin’ just to pull you through You can plan, you can pray, do everything right you do Sometimes you get away from the wayoooh Sometimes the wayoooh gets its way with you [Verse 2] Filled that silver Mercedes Felt like I’d beat the odds Tapped the hood, said “good girl” Thanked every one of my gods Turned the key, she coughed and shuddered Lights lit up like July Bad gas burned that fuel pump up Watched my good day slowly die [Chorus] Sometimes you get away from the wayoooh Sometimes the wayoooh gets its way with you You can win ‘bout ninety-nine times out of a hundred But that last one’s waitin’ just to pull you through You can plan, you can pray, do everything right you do Sometimes you get away from the wayoooh Sometimes the wayoooh gets its way with you [Bridge] It’s that loose board on the porch step That phone call after dark That one cloud on a blue sky That flood after you built the ark You laugh it off, or cuss it out But deep down you still know There’s always that one small sliver Where the wayoooh’s gonna show [Chorus] Sometimes you get away from the wayoooh Sometimes the wayoooh gets its way with you You can win ‘bout ninety-nine times out of a hundred But that last one’s waitin’ just to pull you through So raise a glass to the gold days, and the hard ones too Sometimes you get away from the wayoooh Sometimes the wayoooh gets its way with you
