She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather
When she needed me I wasn't around

That's the way it goes, it'll all work out

There were times apart, there were times together

I was pledged to her for worse or better
When it mattered most I let her down
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out


Chorus:
It'll all work out eventually

Better off with him than here with me

Chorus 2:

It'll all work out eventually
Maybe better with him than here with me


Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy
And the water's rising in the levee
Still I think of her when the sun goes down

It never goes away, but it all works out
