The game must be loaded, cause I never win These things never did treat me good But keep the fire warm, dear and I'll see you again Lord knows that someday I should It's a strange old feeling, these pa**ing lane blues But it's nothing I ain't never felt before You nailed down my conscience and you forced me to choose And my soul I let slip through your door And I'll be doing just fine, oh fine No matter how hard I don't try And if it's raining on the fourth of July I believe I'll be gettin' by The cheaper the ride, the cheaper the thrill You can't trust the shadow through the curtain But if I took you for granted, would you send me the bill? There's one thing that I know for certain.. All I've got is this time on my hands And time, oh time it's a breakin' Just one lost memory and the price you demand Yes I loved you but I could have been mistaken And I'll be doing just fine, oh fine No matter how hard I don't try And if it's raining on the fourth of July I believe I'll be gettin' by Time makes you older (or that's what they say) I come to find out it ain't so Time makes you colder and farther away And farther and farther you go...
