Lyrics

Just On Lone

This Old Boy who lived on my street
The Good Lord called him home last week
His two sons That never called
Came yesterday with a Yu-Haul

They both cleared out the house
What they didn’t want they just threw out
Now his house is just a shell
Another empty lot to sell

I guess it only goes to show
You can’t take it with you when you go
Cause everything is just on loan

In a dumpster by that house
I saw a box just sticking out
So today as I walked by
I took it out and looked inside

It was full of photographs
Old love letters from the past
‘Bands Of Brothers’, ‘Long Lost Lovers’
‘A little boy with his proud mother’

All these people that touched his soul
One by one, he had to let them go
Cause in the end they’re just on lone

We all live on borrowed time
When you’re young you pay no mind
But when you’re old you count the days

The only thing we really own
Is the name on that tombstone
But even that gets worn down by the rain

So all you bankers and lawyers too
With your Armani suits and Gucci Shoes
It don’t matter what you’re worth
How rich you are down here on earth

Because come the judgment day
All of that gets stripped away
You’ll be judged on what you did
And the kind of life you lived
When you finally meet The Lord
You’ll be as naked as the day that you were born
Cause everything is just on loan
