lyrics

We broke ground down at Granddaddy's grave
Said our prayers, sang our songs, hoped that he was saved
He was a good man in his own way
We had some good times together
And Lord knows he had some hard times
But nothing lasts forever

A rolling thunder coming down the Plains
Bringing promise of an evening rain
I've been choking on this dust today
Lord, I can't stand this weather
And I've had myself some hard times
But nothing lasts forever

Say, can you see, the stars are all falling down all around me
Oh, can it be, that all of my better days are far behind me
No, nothing lasts forever

They took the farm back in 2005
With veiled reluctance draped in hollow lies
It was about that time I realized
They're all in this together
And they've had themselves some good times
But nothing lasts forever

Say, can you see, the stars are all falling down all around me
Oh, can it be, that all of my better days are far behind me
No, nothing lasts forever
