I smoked my last cigarette I drank my last drop Quit doing all the things That I swore I'd never stop I changed my direction Sang a different tune Gave up all those childish ways That made me old too soon Things were going good for a while I tried to straighten out the crooked road that I was on It was good while it lasted But it didn't last too long I used to play on Broadway The same song every night Singing for the tip jar Underneath the neon light Had a good time with the women And the compliments were free I dreamed of something bigger But it just wasn't meant to be But I was happy there for a while Just like a desperado, out searching for a song It was good while it lasted But it didn't last too long Nothing last forever Time knows that it's true Sometimes a little while's the best that we can do You ended up beside me Like some long-forgotten dream You took my hand and showed me colors I had never seen We both said forever, forever till the end But forever's something different To a lover than a friend We thought we had it all there for a while Just like that perfect moment 'fore the darkness turned to dawn It was good while it lasted But it didn't last too long The one thing I can tell from all this life that's come undone It was good while it lasted But it didn't last too long It was good while it lasted But it didn't last too long
