[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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]

It'll all work out eventually

Maybe better with him than here with me

[Outro]

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
