GUESS THINGS HAPPEN THAT WAY
(Jack Clement)
JOHNNY CASH (SUN 295, 1958)

Well, you ask me if I'll forget my baby, I guess I will some day
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll get along, I guess I will some way
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

God gave me that girl to lean on, then he put me on my own
Heaven help me be a man and have the strength to stand alone
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll miss her kisses, I guess I will every day
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

You ask me if I'll find another, I don't know, I can't say
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way

God gave me that girl to lean on, then he put me on my own
Heaven help me be a man and have the strength to stand alone
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way
