When I finally made it back
There were locks on all the windows and the doors
Everything had changed
Like I'd never seen this place before

Well, your lookin' at me different
Now I know that the end is finally here
Baby, there ain't nothing left
I won't shed a tear because they're gone

They're gone
Nothing lasts forever, they're gone

I took myself to Reno
Where I looked around and found a place to play
In a broken down casino
Long ago had seen a better day

Well, I played my luck and I sang my song
I couldn't stay there very long
Baby, there ain't nothing left
I won't shed a tear because they're gone

They're gone
Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone
I won't shed a tear because they're gone
Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone

They're gone
Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone

So I hitched a ride to Memphis
And I got off by the Mississippi bridge
And I made my way to Beale Street
Where I heard the ghosts had lived

Well, I raced a train and that's alright
Kentucky moon, I'll hold you tight
Baby, there ain't nothing left
I won't shed a tear because they're gone

They're gone
Nothing lasts forever, they're gone
I wont shed a tear because they're gone
Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone
I wont shed a tear because they're gone

Nothin' lasts forever
I wont shed a tear because they're gone
Nothin' lasts forever, they're gone
