THAT'S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES (c) 2007
V1
Plane got there on time -
three hours late.
No time to put
dinner on my plate.
Rental car broke down
haflway to Murfeesboro
Tennessee
It started to snow, got
stuck in a diner in Brentwood.
What's worse a great big ole
bug flew right into my
coffee.
I looked at the waitress,
she caughht my eye
she said
its on the house
looks like you're having a bad night.
I said you aint kiddin
I feel like my life is about to take
a tumble.
She said, dontcha know it,
that's the way.........the cookie crumbles.
She said
Chorus:
That's the way the cookie crumbles.
like a snowstorm in May
or a football fumble.
You've got to pick
yourself up
each time you stumble.
Yeah
That's the way
The cookie crumbles.

Monday came
The boss was a jerk
I tried to keep my cool
but it just didn't work.
Heading to the studio
out on music row
to unwind
I didn't see that cop
behind me got a $300 fine.
Like rain on the weekend
or your wedding day
Like cold in the summer
and a blizzard in May
I don't know what else
can go wrong today.
My boss said -
Chorus:
That's the way the cookie crumbles.
Like a snowstorm in May
or a football fumble.
You've got to pick yourself up
each time your stumble.
Yeah dontcha know
that's the way
the cookie crumbles.

Now I'm fighting traffic
can't be late
tonight is our 10 year anniversary
date.
Halfway to that five star restaurant
reservations at 8
I'm stuck in traffic
everyone's slammin on the brakes
20 minutes till dinner and I'm
gonna be late.
I get to the restaurant a half hour late
She's left that bill right on her plate.
I know she will be irate.
I rush over to her apartment
and knock on the door
She said what do you want
its 9:24
I said darlin I'm sorry for that
little stumble.
After we kissed and made up
she said.
its ok boy,
that's the way
the cookie crumbles.
Bridge:
So next time you have the ball
and you're about to fumble.
Remember this little story
and if you take a small tumble.
You've go to dust yourself off
each time you stumble.
the moral of the story is its
ok to be humble.
that's right my friend.
That's the way the
cookie crumbles.
That's the way the cookie
crumbles.
That's the way
the cookie crumbles.
