IT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
©COPYRIGHT 12–11-2025 All Rights Reserved © 

[Intro: Bright acoustic guitar strumming, warm pedal steel swells, steady kick drum]

[Verse 1]
Sun dips behind the pines, paintin’ gold across the field
Dust kicks up from the driveway where the old truck’s barely healed
Mama’s roses lean toward light they know won’t last the night
But they bloom just the same—ain’t that a kind of right?

[Chorus]
IT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS!
Like the river finds the sea
Like the wind don’t ask permission
To bend the cottonwood tree
IT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS!
No rewinding, no disguise
Some things you hold with open hands
And let ‘em drift across your sky

[Verse 2]
Neighbor waves from his fence post, says his dog ran off again
Didn’t chase or call too loud—just said “He’ll come when he can”
Said the stars don’t hurry home, and neither should we try
To force the dawn before it’s time to clear the night

[Chorus]
IT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS!
Like the river finds the sea
Like the wind don’t ask permission
To bend the cottonwood tree
IT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS!
No rewinding, no disguise
Some things you hold with open hands
And let ‘em drift across your sky

[Inst: Pedal steel solo over acoustic groove, subtle snare brush]

[Bridge]
You can’t stitch the clouds back whole once the thunder tears ‘em wide
Can’t unring a Sunday bell or bring back yesterday’s tide
But there’s comfort in the knowing—some truths don’t need repair
They just sit beside you on the steps and watch the evening air

[Chorus]
IT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS!
Like the river finds the sea
Like the wind don’t ask permission
To bend the cottonwood tree
IT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS!
No rewinding, no disguise
Some things you hold with open hands
And let ‘em drift across your sky

[Outro: Acoustic guitar fades, pedal steel lingers like sunset glow, soft kick drum heartbeat]
