Nothing Lasts Forever

Do you ever just drive around To see the country sights? Old homesteads crumbling with time It never seems quite right Sometimes the cows gather ‘round With old buildings in their midst Yes, they have their own kind of charm At one time they were quite a hit It’s sad but yet has beauty A mixture or then and now But it’s part of the rural landscape For the horses and herds of cows Oh if only we were able To peek right into the past Those homes had so many memories If only they could last But nothing lasts forever A house or a stately barn They have a lifetime of memories But time keeps trudging on!
