That's the Way Love Goes
Chasing Rainbows of Love: Merle Haggard's Timeless Serenade
Lyrics
I've been throwing horseshoes
I've been engaging in a casual game of horseshoes.
Over my left shoulder
I've been doing this casually and without much concern.
I've spent most all my life
I've dedicated a significant portion of my life.
Searching for that four-leafed clover
In search of good luck or fortune.
Yet you ran with me
Despite that, you accompanied me.
Chasing my rainbows
Pursuing my dreams and aspirations.
Honey, I love you, too
Expressing love for you.
And that's the way love goes
And that's how the nature of love unfolds.
That's the way love goes, babe
Reiteration of the unpredictability of love.
That's the music God made
Love is a fundamental aspect of existence.
For all the world to sing
Intimating that love is universal and meant for everyone.
It's never old, it grows
Love remains fresh and continues to grow.
Losing makes me sorry
Expressing regret or remorse for losing.
You say, "honey, now, don't worry"
Assurance that everything will be okay.
Don't you know I love you too?
Reassurance of reciprocal love.
And that's the way love goes
Reiterating the unpredictable nature of love.
That's the way love goes, babe
Emphasizing the inherent unpredictability of love.
That's the music god made
Restating that love is a fundamental part of existence.
For all the world to sing
Highlighting that love is meant for everyone.
It's never old, it grows
Reiterating that love remains fresh and continues to grow.
Losing makes me sorry
Expressing regret or remorse for losing, again.
You say, "honey, don't worry"
Assurance that everything will be okay, again.
Don't you know I love you too?
Reassurance of reciprocal love, again.
And that's the way love goes, oh
Concluding that this is the way love operates.
