But in the Ggame of Dlife all the Croses Amwither
And Gtime Dwrites it's Clines upon your Gface...
Summer's here and three young men
Drive through the town in the night air
When fall comes they'll part again
One turns to another and he says

It's 3 AM and he's been feeling lonely
Work's been hard, and the city's hard too
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country     
A brother listens to his blues, he says

Do you remember when we thought we were immortal

But in the game of life all the roses wither

Drive through the town in the night air

When fall comes they'll part again

One turns to another and he says

He picks up the phone and halfway across the country

A brother listens to his blues, he says
