That’s Just The Way It Is, Babe Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, let's leave this whole thing behind
Buy ourselves some land, babe, and act like we own it
Somewhere down south where the skies feel like home
Outside of town the parcels are big and wild
[Chorus]
So we could go walking anytime
Nobody else in sight
That's just the way it is, babe
[Verse 2]
One and two and three 'til we see the light
Sing down on us, shine
A fall form heaven or a fall form grace, I don't know
Either way, kid, it's gonna hurt the whole way down
[Chorus]
So lеt's go walking in the light
Take a couple on thе chin
Nobody else in sight
That's how it's gotta be, babe
That's just the way it is, babe
[Bridge]
There's nothing to see here 'til it all starts to burn
Watch it fill the sky like wildfire
Back roads and highways signs that bring us back around
A trek through miles and miles of misty morning rain
Hey, hey, let's leave this whole thing behind
Buy ourselves some land, babe, and act like we own it
Somewhere down south where the skies feel like home
Outside of town the parcels are big and wild
[Chorus]
So we could go walking anytime
Nobody else in sight
That's just the way it is, babe
[Verse 2]
One and two and three 'til we see the light
Sing down on us, shine
A fall form heaven or a fall form grace, I don't know
Either way, kid, it's gonna hurt the whole way down
[Chorus]
So lеt's go walking in the light
Take a couple on thе chin
Nobody else in sight
That's how it's gotta be, babe
That's just the way it is, babe
[Bridge]
There's nothing to see here 'til it all starts to burn
Watch it fill the sky like wildfire
Back roads and highways signs that bring us back around
A trek through miles and miles of misty morning rain
[Chorus]
'Cause it's not often
We get to go walking in the light
Nobody else in sight
Oh, honey, it's just you and I
Take a couple on the chin
Long as you're by my side
It's all I really need babe
You're all I really need, babe
It's all I really need (whoa!)
[Outro]
It's all I really need, babe (yeah!)
When it all starts to burn
You're the only one I need, babe!
'Cause it's not often
We get to go walking in the light
Nobody else in sight
Oh, honey, it's just you and I
Take a couple on the chin
Long as you're by my side
It's all I really need babe
You're all I really need, babe
It's all I really need (whoa!)
[Outro]
It's all I really need, babe (yeah!)
When it all starts to burn
You're the only one I need, babe!

What did John Vincent III say about "That's Just The Way It Is, Babe"?
Genius Answer
“That’s Just the Way It Is, Babe” is one of two songs that made its way onto the album at the last minute. After sitting with the version of the album prior to this song being made, I felt like there was still something more that could be done to bring it all back to the canyon. I wanted something that had lots of acoustics moving around – that you can play alone, or make a jam session with your friends: something about leaving the bullshit behind and stepping into the light.
