The Only Way to Go

Let me tell you a story
Every young man ought to know
You can follow your heart, girl
Anywhere it want to go
It’s gonna get you into trouble, son
Girl, it'll leave you 'side the road
But you know in the long run
It's the only way to go

It's the only way to go
It's the only way to go
You gotta let your river flow
It's the only way to go

You don't need no gypsy woman
You don't need no higher math
You can follow your heart, y'all
Let your heart find the path
It's gonna get you into trouble, son
Girl, it'll leave you b’side the road
But you know in the long run
It's the only way to go

It's the only way to go
It’s the only way to go
You gotta let your river flow
It’s the only way to go
