Papa's words ringin' in my ears
"Son, you've got to get tighter with your tears"
Just because she's leavin', don't start believin'
That your rock 'n' roll days are gone
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
But old fords and a natural stone
And when those sad song, it's slow hurtin' songs
Get you down while you're alone, it won't hurt long
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Like old fords and a natural stone
Diamonds are forever and these old cars
They still keep rollin' on
And all those I love you forevers, they're just words
That can't be depended on
'Cause when they're wrong, they're wrong
And when they're gone, they're gone
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
But old fords or a natural stone
Papa's words ringin' in my ears
"Son, you've got to get tighter with your tears"
