It Is What It Is (And That's All) (Album Version) - Steve Forbert[00:00:00]
Fell for this dream girl in Danville[00:00:15]
Just in the Central Time zone[00:00:19]
I used to kill hours to meet her on time[00:00:22]
And then lost one as well drivin' home[00:00:26]
Mexican boy on Doheny[00:00:30]
Sellin' a map to stars' homes[00:00:34]
Maybe he's homeless[00:00:38]
And maybe they're gone[00:00:40]
And the afternoon traffic rolls on[00:00:41]
Driving a Jaguars impressive[00:00:45]
But you can't watch it go by[00:00:49]
And the Manhattan skyline is a sight to behold[00:00:53]
But prob'ly best through New Jersey based eyes[00:00:56]
It is what it is and that's all[00:01:01]
What are you going to do[00:01:05]
Will some fool look up on a clear day and say[00:01:08]
That the sky's not a true enough blue[00:01:12]
It never much rains but it's pouring[00:01:16]
Everything happens at once[00:01:20]
Flat tires and light bulbs while picture frames fall[00:01:24]
From the wall where they've hung fine for months[00:01:27]
It is what it is and that's all[00:01:31]
Lay down a mat by the door[00:01:35]
Will some fool rush in from a cloud burst and say[00:01:39]
Hell I'm soaked and I'm totally bored[00:01:42]
Out there by the interstate the duplex I call home[00:01:46]
Ain't quite the quietest place on earth to catch your breath[00:01:50]
Non-stop highway sound makes backyard picnics out to lunch[00:01:53]
Fact is my next door neighbor's fine completely deaf[00:01:57]
Maybe you wish you had money[00:02:02]
Then you might think you could live[00:02:06]
Life is so brief you may think time a thief[00:02:09]
Better live for whatever it gives[00:02:13]
Pondering the future you worry[00:02:17]
Listen somehow you'll get through[00:02:21]
Then you'll look backwards and long for the things[00:02:25]
That you'll find it's then too late to do[00:02:28]
It is what it is and that's all[00:02:32]
When are you going to see[00:02:36]
Friends tell you true and your granddad did too[00:02:40]
But you won't take advice that comes free[00:02:43]
Get what you want you don't want it[00:02:48]
Not even glad while you eat[00:02:51]
Wait for your flight while the heavyweights fight[00:02:55]
And the planes try to land in the sleet[00:02:58]
It is what it is and that's all[00:03:02]
And birds can't row boats baby blue[00:03:06]
Will some fool sit stuck on the runway and say[00:03:10]
Hell it's only me this happens to[00:03:14]
It is what it is and that's all[00:03:18]
It is what it is and that's all[00:03:21]
