Nothin' Lasts Forever
Words & Music by J. Byrd Fuddly
VERSE ONE
When I was a young boy, a long long time ago / I asked my Grandma for advice to help me down life's road / My Granny was a wise one, she seemed to know everything / She smiled and she winked at me, and she began to sing:
CHORUS ONE
Nothin' lasts forever, no matter how it seems / There's no reason good enough for giving up your dreams / Nothin' lasts forever, it's true this too shall pass / Just set your heels, grit your teeth, and tell 'em all to Kiss your Ass
VERSE TWO
After I got married, things didn't go very well / What started out as heaven quickly turned to private hell / I explained this to my Granny over a drink or two / She shook her finger and her head, and she told me what to do:
CHORUS TWO
Nothin' lasts forever, no matter how you hope / Sometimes the phrase 'Love of your Life' becomes the cruelest joke / Nothin' lasts forever, it's true this too shall pass / Just set your heels, grit your teeth, and tell 'em all to Kiss your Ass
VERSE THREE
When I became an old chap, somewhere around sixty-four / I started to worry that I couldn't perform in the bedroom anymore / I went and asked my Granny, who by now was a buck o' three / She giggled and she blushed a bit, and this is what she said to me:
CHORUS THREE
Nothin' lasts forever, no matter how it seems / Sometimes a young man's reality becomes an old man's dream / Nothin' lasts forever, it's true this too shall pass / Just set your heels, grit your teeth, and tell 'em all to Kiss your Ass.
Just set your heels, grit your teeth, and tell the world to Kiss your Ass.
