"Just Like That" lyrics - BONNIE RAITT

BONNIE RAITT
"Just Like That"

I watched him circle 'round the block, finally stopped at mine
Took a while before he knocked like all he had was time
"Excuse me, ma'am, maybe you can help, the directions weren't so clear
I'm looking for Olivia Zand, they said I might find her here"
Well, I looked real hard and asked him, "What she's got he's looking for?"
Said, "There's somethin' I think she'd want to know" and I let him in the door
It's not like me to trust so quick, caught me by surprise
But somethin' about him gave me ease, right there in his eyes

[Chorus:]
And just like that your life can change if I hadn't looked away
My boy might still be with me now, he'd be 25 today
No knife can carve away the stain, no drink can drown regret
They say Jesus brings you peace and grace, well, He ain't found me yet

[Post-Chorus:]
Na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na, na
Na, na, na-na-na-na

He sat down and took a deeper breath then looked right in my face
I heard about the son you lost, how you left without a trace
I've spent years just tryna find you so I could finally let you know
It was your son's heart that saved me and a life you gave us both

[Chorus:]
And just like that your life can change, look what the angels send
I lay my head upon his chest and I was with my boy again
Well, I've spent so long in darkness, I never thought the night would end
But somehow grace has found me and I had to let Him in

[Post-Chorus:]
Na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na, na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na, na
Na, na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na, na
Na, na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na, na
Na-na-na, na, na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
