Justin Tubb – It Happened Just That Way lyrics

(Roger Miller)

Well, I was born in the boomer's shack
Bout that far from the railroad track
Choo-choo ratled my window pane
And the sheet iron roof told me evertime it rained.

Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
It happened just that way.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I went to a one room school
I walked to and from this school
I carried my lunch in a paper sack
It was one mile over two miles back.

Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
It happened just that way.

--- Instrumental ---

And my brother worked hard in the grain
My papa drove a choo-choo train
One sister was a righteous girl
But the other was a woman of the world.

Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
It happened just that way.

Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
It happened just that way.

Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, yea
It happened just that way...
