vance gilbert - just the way that it was lyrics

[verse 1]
was it the lone ranger’s face
that never looked like mine?
or a flesh+toned crayola
to fix it up fine?
was it the first man in sp+ce
or the second or third
or a picture of jesus
or the stories i’d heard?
well they can’t be the reasons
for why i took aim
when i shouldered that rifle
i shouldered the blame
but just for one moment
it all seemed the same
like it was just
the way that it was

[verse 2]
was it rocks through a window
at some kids on a bus?
was it amos and andy?
hеy they look just like us
was it sweet miss america
in hеr lily+white gown?
is the man in the moon
just a little bit brown?
well they can’t be the reasons
for why i took aim
when i shouldered that rifle
i shouldered the blame
but just for one moment
it all seemed the same
like it was just
the way that it was
[chorus]
oh it was such a surprise
mama shouting
come and look see
we was on the tv
oh what a sight for my eyes
count us
one two three

[verse 3]
now i have to admit
now that i’ve had my say
things were different back then
than they are here today
well i wished i’d of seen it
when i was a kid
maybe i’d have stopped doin’
all the things that i did
cause when the governor don’t call
and they pull the switch down
and i dim all the lights
in this little old town
will they look back at me
when the years roll around
and say it was just
the way that it was
[chorus]
oh it was such a surprise
mama shouting
come and look see
we was on the tv
oh what a sight for my eyes
count us
one two, one two three
