Your voice just slowed down the tempo
Hung up the phone now I'm feeling sentimental
Remembering them late nights in Nashville
When easy living got too hard to handle

You run but time is catching up
Sores on your skin you're scratching blood
Tonight is everything but I know now

Nothing. Nothing lasts forever.
All this pain and pleasure
One day we'll surrender and let the world go by
I'll see you at the end of one of 77
Roads that lead to heaven
Even more alive

Now the wind is carrying your ashes
Young savage, look how that lasted
Moonbeams, the truth comes in flashes
Smoke rings bring relief from disaster

I feel you here still wandering
War paint has covered everything
I feel your suffering but I know now

Nothing. Nothing lasts forever.
All this pain and pleasure
One day we'll surrender and let the world go by
I'll see you at the end of one of 77
Roads that lead to heaven
Even more alive

Cause I'm not gonna die ever.
