Lady of the house Used to tell me stories As my old man Lived the days of glory One day he sent us away And not a thing she could do But to say it's okay
First she says Son, you'll change the world But now she says That I'm getting too old Lady, make up your mind 'Cause Jackie's waiting outside
And when the sun goes down in your eyes Old folks say, that's no surprise
I ain't got half Of what I can take Time is short And time won't wait Time is slipping by The hands of Jackie Faye
And now she's walking Down my street And she bangs on my window And she says, "I wrote this song But I can't figure out it's key And I named it The Way It's Gonna Be"
And when the sun goes down in your eyes Old folks say, that's no surprise (And you know what she says) I got a heart that's torn apart tonight Wishing I could go back to the start
I bet you're feeling really proud Now that you've turned tables I bet you're feeling really proud Now that Cain killed Abel
And she waves And she waits 'Cause no one break us Yet no one could save us
I bet you're feeling really proud Now that you've turned tables I bet you're feeling really proud Now that Cain killed Abel
And I wish That I was innocent You know sometimes I wish She was never late
