While It Lasts

While It Lasts

When shadows from the setting sun blanket the grass
Keeping warm every moment we've had
Staring at stars or sharing a kiss between bars
Remember every moment while it lasts

Like Hank driving down a lost highway 
We got spun turned to dust trying to do things my way
Shining smiles in the sun
A siren singing songs of the past
Remember every song while it lasts

As I flick ash off my cigarette 
And smoke rolls off the tip
I think the road goes wherever you want to get
Street signs calling as we pass
Remember no road is the last
Remember every moment while it lasts

We fight fire with gasoline
Not every fire is what it seems

Remember no road is the last
And remember every moment....
