[00:09.94]Becky Johnson bought the farm
[00:11.90]Put a needle in her arm
[00:14.50]That’s the way that it goes
[00:16.91]That’s the way
[00:19.42]And her brother laid her down
[00:22.03]In the cold Kentucky ground
[00:24.29]That’s the way that it goes
[00:26.78]That’s the way
[00:29.27]That’s the way that it goes
[00:34.25]Everybody’s buying little baby clothes
[00:39.11]That’s the way that it ends
[00:44.23]Though there was a time when she and I were friends
[00:51.74]Well, Miranda ran away
[00:54.06]Took her cat and left LA
[00:56.69]That’s the way that it goes
[00:59.08]That’s the way
[01:01.60]She was busted, broke and flat
[01:03.79]Had to sell that pussy cat
[01:06.27]That’s the way that it goes
[01:09.35]That’s the way
[01:11.49]That’s the way that it goes
[01:16.39]Everybody’s buying little baby clothes
[01:21.43]That’s the way that it ends
[01:26.20]Though there was a time when he and I were friends
[01:34.16]See the brightest ones of all
[01:36.59]Early in October fall
[01:39.17]That’s the way that it goes
[01:41.59]That’s the way
[01:44.04]While the dark ones go to bed
[01:46.40]With good whiskey in their head
[01:48.91]That’s the way that it goes
[01:51.59]That’s the way
[02:08.61]Now Billy Joe’s back in the tank
[02:11.12]You tell Russo, I’ll tell Frank
[02:13.50]That’s the way that it goes
[02:15.83]That’s the way
[02:18.45]Did he throw her down a well?
[02:20.90]Did she leave him for that swell?
[02:23.32]That’s the way that it goes
[02:25.92]That’s the way
[02:28.55]That’s the way that it goes
[02:33.42]Everybody’s buying little baby clothes
[02:38.56]That’s the way that it ends
[02:43.60]Though there was a time when all of us were friends
[02:51.79]When you lay me down to rest
[02:53.75]Leave a pistol in my vest
[02:56.28]That’s the way that it goes
[02:58.69]That’s the way
[03:01.25]Do you miss my gentle touch?
[03:03.84]Did I hurt you very much?
[03:06.14]That’s the way that it goes
[03:08.64]That’s the way
[03:30.64]That’s the way that it goes
[03:35.68]Everybody’s buying little baby clothes
[03:40.84]That’s the way that it ends
[03:45.81]Though there was a time when you and I were friends
