Ain't no miracle being born
People doin' it everyday
It ain't no miracle growing up
Ah, people just grow that way

So it goes like it goes, like the river flows
And time it rolls right on
Maybe what's good gets a little bit better
Maybe what's bad gets gone

Ah, bless the child of a working man
She knows too soon who she is
And bless the hands of a working man
Oh, he knows his soul is his

So it goes like it goes, like the river flows
And time roll right on
Maybe what's good gets a little bit better
Maybe what's bad gets gone

So it goes like it goes, like the river flows
Time keeps rolling on, oh
Maybe what's good gets a little bit better
Maybe what's bad gets gone
