Sweet Comfort Album: Hearts Of Fire Track: They Just Go On
They Just Go On Lyrics
By Randy Thomas & Sam O. Scott
He plays guitar in a smoke-filled room
Singing from the afternoon
Until the morning comes
His music sets the atmosphere
For drinking, lonely hearts that gather here
By two a.m. he ends the show
His world is fine for we know
But don't believe a word
He's a master of charades
An expert with the masquerades
They just go on
Never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
They just go on
Never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
And married to the man to stage
The woman who will share his wage
She waits to drive him home
Gives to him a warming smile
But secretly she trembles all the while
She wears the look of confidence
And leads the life of common sense
She keeps a level head
But just behind her quiet grace
There hides a girl who's lost and out of place
Oh, they just go on
Never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
They just go on
Never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
There's a hunger inside
That they can't satisfy
With any earthly treasure
And they wonder each night
If the pain the must hide will go on...
And they just go on
They just go on
Never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
They just go on
Never changing
They just go on and on and on and on and on
