Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This old guitar is falling apart
I don't have money to mend it
And this old life is passing me by
Got no ideas how to change it
[Verse 2]
So if this be the last words that I ever write
And please don't judge them too harshly
If this be the last breath that I ever take
I hope you will remember me fondly
[Verse 3]
Well, what could I do?
What could I say?
How could I explain all this feeling
Bitchin' and moaning, wasting away
Like a wildfire, it changing the seasons
[Verse 4]
It was early September when we hit the ground
And we drove to the water and we drove through town
And we found more love than anybody ever does
So we just kept moving
[Verse 5]
And we saw the colors and a changing of the days
And we scaled the walls where the new soldiers play
And they're all too young but they mean what they say
So we just kept moving
[Verse 6]
And I wish I had known you when the world was still young
'Fore religion turned reckless, tryna shoot out the sun
And they say we'll be standing when the last war is won
But will we be worthy?
[Verse 7]
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 8]
If you were my future, I'd hold to my coat
And fold you into it and never let go
We'd walk through this land with our message of hope
Just laughing and singing
[Verse 9]
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 10]
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
