The game must be loaded, cause I never win 
these things never did treat me good. 
but keep the fire warm, dear and I’ll see you again 
Lord knows that someday I should 
it’s a strange old feeling, these passing lane blues 
but it’s nothing I ain’t never felt before. 
you nailed down my conscience and you forced me to choose 
and my soul I let slip through your door 
and I’ll be doing just fine, oh fine 
no matter how hard I don’t try 
and if it’s raining on the fourth of July 
I believe I’ll be gettin’ by 
the cheaper the ride, the cheaper the thrill 
you can’t trust the shadow through the curtain. 
but if I took you for granted, would you send me the bill? 
there’s one thing that I know for certain.. 
all I’ve got is this time on my hands 
and time, oh time it’s a breakin’ 
just one lost memory and the price you demand 
yes I loved you but I could have been mistaken 
and I’ll be doing just fine, oh fine 
no matter how hard I don’t try 
and if it’s raining on the fourth of July 
I believe I’ll be gettin’ by 
time makes you older (or that’s what they say) 
I come to find out it ain’t so. 
time makes you colder and farther away 
and farther and farther you go...
