lyrics

Working more
Making less
House a wreck and my heads a mess
I got to start the day
I got so much shit to do

Trying to find
A hint of hope
Passing time
Smoking dope
Wondering what this word is coming to

Till the rivers all run backwards
And the oceans go dry
I'm going to love you forever girl
But I'm staying just for tonight

So I Jump the wall
Breaking lose
Dodge a bullet and
Slipped the noose
You always knew when I'd be passing through

I got to keep this
Hammer down
Long as the world keeps spinning round
I'd love to stay
But that's something I can't do

Till the rivers all run backwards
And the oceans go dry
I'm going to love you forever girl
But I'm staying just for tonight

It takes two to dance
Two to fight
One is wrong
One is right
You can hate me with all your might
It don't mean a damn to me

All that's left is an empty road
A beating heart that's growing cold
I told you once so you've been told
Don't play that card on me

Till the rivers all run backwards
And the oceans go dry
I'm going to love you forever girl
But I'm staying just for tonight

Rice delivers his lyrics with a knowing nod and wink and a twinkle of the eye to the difficulties we encounter in our daily lives, and creates memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. ... more
