It Is What It Is

I DON’T KNOW NOTHIN’ ABOUT NOTHIN’ BUT IN MY OWN DEFENSE

WHEN I FINALLY GET A GRIP ON IT, IT DON’T MAKE ANY SENSE.

SOME DAYS WILL SHINE SOME DAYS WILL RAIN

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I’M GOIN’ INSANE.

SO I TAKE IT AS IT COMES I GIVE IT AS IT GOES

WHY AM I BURNIN’ WHEN THE COLD WIND BLOWS BECAUSE

IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT AIN’T WHAT IT AIN'T

I AIN'T NO DEVIL MAN BUT I AIN'T KNOW SAINT

I KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT I KNOW WHAT'S WRONG

I GET BY I GET ALONG

I DO WHAT I CAN AND I DON'T EVER COMPLAIN

IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT AIN'T WHAT IT AIN'T

NOW TAKE MY JOB IT'S ALRIGHT I WORK ALL DAY

THEN COMES THE NIGHT

I DO MY THING THAT KEEPS ME SANE

PLAY MY GUITAR TO EASE THE PAIN

I COME ALIVE JUST LIKE A RUNAWAY TRAIN

IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT AIN'T WHAT IT AIN'T

NOW TAKE MY GIRL SHE'S THE BEST

SHE'S ALL I NEED FORGET THE REST

SHE TOOK MY HEART AT FIRST GLANCE

SHE CAN'T SING BUT SHE CAN DANCE

SHE AIN’T IN THE BAND BUT SHE LOVES TO WATCH ME PLAY

IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT AIN'T WHAT IT AIN'T

(2X) IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT AIN'T WHAT IT AIN'T

NOW I GO OUT I GO DOWNTOWN I NEED SOME KICKS SO I LOOK AROUND

I FIND A PLACE WHERE I DIG THE SOUND

GRAB MY GUITAR AND I BURN IT DOWN

I DON'T BOTHER NOBODY DON'T WRECK NO NOBODY’S GAME

(2X) IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT AIN'T WHAT IT AIN'T

YOU SEE IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT AIN'T WHAT IT AIN'T

(3X) IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT AIN'T WHAT IT AIN'T
