I Always Say - Pete Townshend

I Always Say

I went down to see my sister

The story was the same

She said oh Brother you got to help me

He’s gone and left me again

I said he’s probably just been out all night drinking

Like the men you married always like to do

He’s probably lying in some gutter somewhere

Hopelessly some side of you

And there’s nothing going to keep away the bad times

It’s going to find you every day

And there’s nothing going to keep away Heaven, come what may

I always say

And then I went on back home to my Mother

She told me Son your dear Dad is dead and gone

Oh honey how am I gonna pay the rent now

How’s your poor mother gonna get along

I said Mother take the curlers out of your hair

And don’t you dare dress in black

Don’t mind the neighbors get out to find another lover

Cause no mans crying going to bring him back

And there’s nothing going to keep away the trouble

It’s going to find you every day

But then there’s nothing going to keep away Heaven, come what may

I always say

And there’s nothing going to keep away the bad times

There going to find you every day

But then nothings going to keep away Heaven, come what may

I always say

And I go home to see my woman

And as I walk in through the door

I see a note lying on the table

And I know what it says and who’s it for

And what am I gonna do without you baby

I’ll miss your loving tender kiss

I’ll have to spend a lonely life with out ya

But honey let me tell you this

If there’s nothing going to keep away the bad times

Gonna find me every day

Will meet again in Heaven, come what may

I always say

Cause it’s the Lord, ETC

If there’s nothing going to keep away the bad times

They gonna find me every day

But will meet again in Heaven, come what may

I always say
