They walked around the department store
On a warm Summer night. She was radiant
And beautiful; and forever lost
She was done with him, and ready
To move on; trying to let him down easy
Like some old sad song
They stopped to look at boots. She told him
Straight up, his weren't cool. "Them straps and
Buckles ruin it for me," she said, then he took her
Home. And her kiss was cold at the door
And it told him what he did not want to know
He got that lonesome feeling like some old sad song
And time did its job of healing
Though his better days were often full of pain
Because life, it ain't a song. Nobody gives a damn
No guarantees. Love's a gamble
He lost touch with her, and he never got it back
You know that's probably for the best because life
Gets mighty complicated like that
Then one day he just woke up and decided it was time
To move on. He didn't want to end up dying
In some old sad song
And time did its job of healing
Though what wasn't wasn't what it was to be
Because life it ain't a song. Nobody gives a damn
No guarantees. Love's a gamble
No guarantees. Love's a gamble
