Old Fords and a National Stone Songtext
von Willie Nelson

Papa′s words ringin' in my ears
Son, you′ve got to get tighter with your tears

Just because she's leaving, don't start believing
That your rock and roll days are gone
′Cause nothin′ 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 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
