It Is What It Is Lyrics & Tabs by Nick Santino
It Is What It Is
guitar chords lyrics
I used to be an astronaut when I was just a boy,
I fell in love with floating through the stars.
My mother told me, "Son, just aim your arrow at the moon
and always follow it when things get hard"
I used to ride the boxcars when the circus came to town
I'd tame a couple lions just for fun
Then a fella told me, "Son, it's good to do what you enjoy
as long as you just enjoy doing what you love"
'Cause it's a long road back to that place I know,
it's the only place that I can call my home.
So if I can pick up all the pieces, I'll leave before I go
Then the shorter I will wonder down this road
I used to be an outlaw robbing banks in the old west
With a holster and a gun, I fought the law
Then a lady in a bar said, "Money cannot love you back
I used to be an outlaw robbing banks in the old west
With a holster and a gun, I fought the law
Then a lady in a bar said, "Money cannot love you back
and if you think it makes you happy, then you're wrong"
'Cause it's a long road back to that place I know,
it's the only place that I can call my home
So if I can pick up all the pieces, I'll leave before I go
Then the shorter I will wonder down this road
The truth is I'm a boy just trying to become a man
and I'm not sure what I've got ahead of this.
But I'm thankful with the hand this life has dealt in front of me
And what happens next, well, it is what it is
'Cause it's a long road back to that place I know,
it's the only place that I can call my home
So if I can pick up all the pieces, I'll leave before I go
Then the shorter I will wonder down this road
So if I can pick up all the pieces, I'll leave before I go
Then the shorter I will wonder down this road
