NOTHING LAST'S FOREVER words & music by bill mallonee
admin BMI published by "Once More, This Time With Feeling" music c.2022

Well there are no guarantees when you answer the call
with a beat up guitar and a suitcase full of songs
once every bend in the road held a new surprise
every cloud broke thru to sunny skies

tables they turn, times they change
Darlin' just like the weather
and nothing lasts forever...

A six-string in the desert? Now, there's a drug that you can trust
you drench of voice in whiskey and drown your soul on dust
you never read the fine print, so you never caught the catch
and even if you did, would have choose a different path

Desperation is a kind of fuel when you're far from home
in that borrowed threadbare suit and splash of cheap cologne
and when it all went South you were the last to know
there's no guard rail gonna hold a worried man's woes
Empires they will crumble from sea-to-shinning-sea
and tyrants the may hang from the highest tree
They're out to steal your joy, but 1st they'll steal your horse
but lovers they're the only ones who really know the score
