FORGERIES words & music: bill mallonee admin BMI 2017
There's no spinning any gold....outta this one
no use tryin' to fix the wagon wheel
It's just stumblin' down this corridor where you navigate by feel
tryin' to sort the fake from the real

Some days it ain't worth the paper it's printed on
It sure ain't worth a life of crime for you to steal
And by God, yer so thirsty...but every drink you spill
tryin' to sort the fake from the real...

Sweet hour of prayer
had my hand on the television
I made my peace long time ago
with oblivion

Now forgeries run riot at every card table
every banker's pen clogged with the fine print of shady deals
Ah, but darling could i have your hand for this next Virginia reel?
and we'll sort through all the fake from the real
sort through all the fake from the real
