| I smoked my last cigarette
|
| I drank my last drop
|
| Quit doing all the things
|
| That I swore I’d never stop
|
| I changed my direction
|
| Sang a different tune
|
| Gave up all those childish ways
|
| That made me old too soon
|
| Things were going good there for a while
|
| I tried to straighten out the crooked road that I was on
|
| It was good while it lasted
|
| But it didn’t last too long
|
| I used to play down on broadway
|
| The same song every night
|
| Singing for the tip jar
|
| Underneath the neon light
|
| Had a good time with the women
|
| And the compliments were free
|
| I dreamed of something bigger
|
| But it just wasn’t meant to be
|
| But I was happy there for a while
|
| Just like a desperado, out searching for a song
|
| It was good while it lasted
|
| But it didn’t last too long
|
| Nothing last forever
|
| Time knows that it’s true
|
| Sometimes a little while’s the best that we can do
|
| You ended up beside me
|
| Like some long-forgotten dream
|
| You took my hand and showed me colors
|
| I had never seen
|
| We both said forever, forever till the end
|
| But forever’s something different
|
| To a lover than a friend
|
| We thought we had it all there for a while
|
| Just like that perfect moment 'fore the darkness turned to dawn
|
| It was good while it lasted
|
| But it didn’t last too long
|
| The one thing I can tell from all this life that’s come undone
|
| It was good while it lasted
|
| But it didn’t last too long
|
| It was good while it lasted
|
| But it didn’t last too long |
