When I finally made it back There were locks on all the windows and the doors Everything had changed Like I'd never seen this place before Well, your lookin' at me different Now I know that the end is finally here Baby, there ain't nothing left I won't shed a tear because they're gone They're gone Nothing lasts forever, they're gone I took myself to Reno Where I looked around and found a place to play In a broken down casino Long ago had seen a better day Well, I played my luck and I sang my song I couldn't stay there very long Baby, there ain't nothing left I won't shed a tear because they're gone They're gone Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone I won't shed a tear because they're gone Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone They're gone Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone So I hitched a ride to Memphis And I got off by the Mississippi bridge And I made my way to Beale Street Where I heard the ghosts had lived Well, I raced a train and that's alright Kentucky moon, I'll hold you tight Baby, there ain't nothing left I won't shed a tear because they're gone They're gone Nothing lasts forever, they're gone I won't shed a tear because they're gone Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone I won't shed a tear because they're gone Nothin' lasts forever I won't shed a tear because they're gone Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone
