No.427 Like in The Old Days

[Lyrics]
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
The opposite lane was congested,
So we had no choice but to climb the hill and leave the main road.
No way to make a U-turn.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Turn right down that alley.
Go down the steep slope.

[Chorus 1]
Life will work itself out,
No matter what.
But if it doesn’t,
What will we do?

[Verse 2]
In the line of traffic,
I stuck my face and hand out the window,
And smiled brightly.
Five minutes lost.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
“I wonder if the maker is angry?”
“Did you have an appointment with him?”

[Chorus 2]
Life will work itself out,
No matter what.
But if it doesn’t,
What will we do?

[Instrumental Solo]

[Verse 3]
“No.” “Okay, it’s fine.”
Ultimately, 50 minutes late.
I handed her the torn motorcycle seat.
It would be ready after 5 pm.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
“We want to get home before dark,” I said.
She replied, “I’ll call you when it’s ready.”

[Chorus 3]
Life will work itself out,
No matter what.
But if it doesn’t,
What will we do?

[Bridge]
“What should we do now?” I asked.
My wife suggested, “How about waiting at the library?”
She added, “Like in the old days.”
I replied, “Just like back then.”

[Final Chorus 3]
Life will work itself out,
No matter what.
But if it doesn’t,
What will we do?
