The sister from texas who's been many places, that's who I am
Don't get yourself uptight just trying to please me - I'm down with the flame
Here for the moment, gone forever
Here for the moment, gone forever
Here for the moment, gone forever, said the sister from texas

Hard luck nights just like I see 
I don't try to color it over with rose
Do you know that pride can kill ya? 
I don't try to spike my pains with my nose
People are - here for the moment, gone forever
Here for the moment, then we're gone forever
Here for the moment, gone forever, said the sister from texas
I've seen 'em come and go
For as long as I been here
Yeah! There just ain't very much more now
That can make me cry
Yeah, yeah
Woman was born to love and to lose man, and vice versa
There's one more thing I gotta get up to
And that's the real, that I was born to die

Yeah, yeah, hey, hey
But I'm in there fighting everyday 
Because I got a few more dreams in me, yes, I have
And I wonder will the day come when every man 
With a heartbeat will knows that he's free?
Yeah, people are here for the moment
Then they're gone forever
(Forever) here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever
(Forever) here for the moment
(Forever) then they're gone forever, said the sister from texas

Yeah, here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever
(Forever) here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever
(Forever) here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever, said the sister from texas

Yeah, here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever
(Forever) here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever
(Forever) here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever, said the sister from texas

Yeah, here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever
(Forever) here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever
(Forever) here for the moment
(Forever) gone forever, said the sister from texas
