about

This song is not about a girl. Now that you have picked yourself up off the floor, I'll tell what the song is really about. It's about that wonderful, wonderful band the National Horseshoe Champions breaking up. Broke my heart. I guess the song could be about a girl. Breaking up is hard to do. I always said I was a benevolent dictator. Perhaps not benevolent enough. In bands, and in relationships. Doesn't take a genius to hear that the music was influenced by one of the world's best songwriters ever, J.J. Cale. Check out "The NashVegas Demos" version too. People have a way of justifying just about everything. Including me. And isn't that just the way some people are? John Baskerville (bass), Philip Sterk (drums), Jeff Petersen (lap steel), db (guitars, harp, vocals).

lyrics

ISN’T THAT THE WAY

Well I gave you my heart but you took it for granted
The way you treat me these days babe I can’t hardly stand it
I gave you all I had but you wanted more
I thank you very kindly show yourself to the door

Isn’t that just the way some people are

Well I bent down turn around to pick up your slack
You put a knife smack dab in my back
After all this time I thought I knew you
It just shows to go there’s not a lot you can do

Well I had a little faith but that’s all gone
How many more times can you do me wrong
Good friends are good friends when the good times roll
When the times get tough out the door they go

Isn’t that just the way some people are
