All Good Things Past

English translation

Well all good things pass, and your boy got himself into some trouble again

But all my friends are bound to share in this denial

And the coming of the Lord couldn't keep me from, a down south comeback smile

That Oklahoman, popsicle frozen, empties on the burnpile

Keep us in your prayers, we've been burnin' that midnight oil

But what if I told ya it'll never burn hot enough

And the coming of the Lord couldn't keep us from, God's unending love

That Oklahoman, popsicle frozen, empties on a barren bluff

All good things pass but there are better things ahead

Nostalgia has a way of looking better in your head

You'll turn around to see eyes brown shining in deep june

With all good things passed, there's ten in bloom

And all good things pass, like the cold Philadelphian winter streets

On New Years Eve when I couldn't find my way home

And the coming of the Lord couldn't keep me from, crying on the telephone

With McGlincheys open, my hands were frozen

Piling empties all alone

All good things pass and your boy got himself into some trouble again

But all my friends are bound to pass this grin around

And the coming of the Lord couldn't keep me from

A curse word back down south

That Oklahoman, popsicle frozen while mama says to watch your mouth

All good things pass, and your boy got himself into some trouble again

But all my friends have shared in this denial
