Old Fords and a Natural Stone

Willie Nelson · To Lefty From Willie/always On My Mind/red Headed Stranger [1997]

Papa's words ringin' in my ears son you got to get tighter with your tears

Just because she's leaving don't start believing

That your rock'n roll days are gone

Cause nothing lasts forever but old Fords and a natural stone

And when those sad songs and slow hurtin' songs

Get you down while you're alone it won't hurt long

Cause nothing lasts forever like old Fords and a natural stone



Diamonds are forever and these old cars they still keep rolling on

And all those I love you forever's they're just words that can't be depended on

Cause when they're wrong they're wrong and when they're gonethey're gone

Cause nothin' lasts forever but old Fords and a natural stone

Papa's words ringin' in my ears son you got to get tighter with your tears
