Jo Dee Messina - That's The Way Lyrics
Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry-go-round that we call life
Take a drive on cruise control, then you wake to find it's a winding road
I had my dreams in view when the money ran out and the engine blew
Hung my tears out to dry, then my dreams fell outta the clear blue sky
And I, I was walking in the clouds feeling so safe and sound
[Chorus:]
Oh and that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
Oh and that's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live, you learn
You crash, you burn
It's hit or miss
And that's the way it is
One fine day you wake up, completely, hopelessly fallen in love
He's just what you're looking for, the only problem is that the man's not sure
Another guy will give you everything, the only problem is you don't feel a thing
Well I know from experience, nothing's ever gonna make perfect sense
Oh, one day you get what you want, but it's not what you think, then you get what you need
[Chorus]
Yea
They say your soul is growing
But sometimes I feel like throwing something
And that's they way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
And that's they way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
[Chorus x2]

Remember seeing this all the time on CMT's Top 20 Countdown in 1999 or 2000
I saw this video on MTV Classic the other day. Such a catchy song.
Back when country music had meaning.
FamilyHistoriandude WHAT THE HELL HAS CHANGED????? IT STILL HAS JUST AS MUCH MEANING TODAY AS IT DID BACK THEN
@countrygirl country musiclover if you grew up in the 90's and listened to REAL country music, you'd understand.
@countrygirl country musiclover no, not even close
Love song!!! Video not so......
Loved how real she was. Always will love her because she reminds me of me of childhood
Same here! She and her music are so nostalgic:)
Same here also!
I always loved this song because it's the truth
To this day this song still inspires me!!! This vid didn't even need dancers, I'd rather just watch her sing. She's been through quite alot.
I just heard a Jo Dee song on spottify talking about how a women is coming back in to her man's life to break his heart again but I didn't get the name of it. Any ideas? Any help will be appreciated.
I didn't have to leave to love you....is the song I was thinking about. Thanks though
+Jennifer Smith I've never heard that one. I'll have to check that out. 😊
Do...it's goos
I really like it. I'd never heard that one before. Thanks :)
You're welcome
get your own freaking life--get out of my head!!!!!! i hate you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck your commercials!!!!!!!!!!!! shove them up your ass!!!!!! this is MY LIFE...not YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get out of my freaking head!!!!!!!!!!! fuck you and your commercials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My cousin I a music producer and met her. He says she is awesome!!
I try to live my life like this.. Ultimately it all works out!! Love this song!!
Hell of a FLIP!
ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES is only half of the fight, got to pick when to go for the glass jaw and punch back, to carry forward the analogy. Get back up and show some backbone, 'hutzpah' if you will. Shake your fist at the devil and Yahweh ? Neither will will have much regard for you?
Love her!!
This video had the lowest budget in history.
@Paul Law jus added the Appalachian part in there, but honestly what do u expect for a vid madr in the early 90s?? I thought it was inertanin ta say the least. Low budget maybe, an it definitly aint no f#cked up fl/ga line RAP video, it is what it is. Dont hate on "ole skool" now
@Ezr Vinh I actually have an accent yes, I actually graduated bo, eny more personal questions, you can mail me at

Doesn't matter, when this video was current on CMT, it was a lot more interesting than many of the other videos out at the time.
Then why can't you just leave it alone. ...I love her voice ... an you sing like this
All that greenscreen
This song actually built my life with the rolling with the punches
Me too brother
She's amazing!!
She is...!
I know right ? an hey what is ur favorite music video an song by her ?
