Merle Haggard - That's The Way Love Goes Lyrics






I've been throwing horseshoes over my left shoulder
I've spent most all my life searching for that four-leafed clover
Yet you ran with me chasing my rainbows
Honey, I love you too and that's the way love goes

That's the way love goes, babe, that's the music God made
For all the world to sing, it's never old it grows
Losing makes me sorry, you say "Honey, now don't worry"
Don't you know I love you too and that's the way love goes

That's the way love goes, babe, that's the music God made
For all the world to sing, it's never old it grows
Losing makes me sorry, you say "Honey, now don't worry"
Don't you know I love you too and that's the way love goes...
