Papa's words ringin' in my ears   "Son, you've got to get tighter with your tears"      Just because she's leavin', don't start believin'   That your rock 'n' roll days are gone      'Cause nothin' lasts forever   But old fords and a natural stone      And when those sad song, it's slow hurtin' songs   Get you down while you're alone, it won't hurt long      'Cause nothin' lasts forever   Like old fords and a natural stone      Diamonds are forever and these old cars   They still keep rollin' on      And all those I love you forevers, they're just words   That can't be depended on      'Cause when they're wrong, they're wrong   And when they're gone, they're gone      'Cause nothin' lasts forever   But old fords or a natural stone      Papa's words ringin' in my ears   "Son, you've got to get tighter with your tears"
