Текст Nick Santino – It Is What It Is

I used to be an astronaut when I was just a boy
I fell in love with floating through the stars
My mother told me, «son, just aim your arrow at the moon and always follow it when things get hard»

I used to ride the box cars when the circus came to town

Cause it’s a long road back to that place I know
It’s the only place that I can call my home
So if I pick up all the pieces I leave before I go
Then the shorter I will wander down this road

I used to be an outlaw robbin’ banks in the Old West
With a holster and a gun I fought the law
And a lady in a bar said, «money cannot love you back, and if you think it makes you happy, then you’re wrong»

Cause it’s a long road back to that place I know
It’s the only place that I can call my home
So if I pick up all the pieces I leave before I go
Then the shorter I will wander down this road

The truth is I’m a boy just tryin’ to become a man
And I’m not sure what I’ve got ahead of this
But I’m thankful for the hand this life has dealt in front of me
And what happens next, well it is what it is

Cause it’s a long road back to that place I know
It’s the only place that I can call my home
So if I pick up all the pieces I leave before I go
Then the shorter I will wander down this road
And if I pick up all the pieces I leave before I go
Then the shorter I will wander down this road
