Bo Armstrong - Built to Last (feat. Laurel Wright)

Like that ’54 Gibson stored in the corner
Got chipping paint, still sings the same when I hold her
Been my crutch, fought my battles, stuck around when things unraveled
Has just as much of a future as a past
Some things are built to last
Or that ’68 Ford that waits in the driveway
May take some luck, but it fires up like yesterday
Been down that road and seen some miles, found forgiveness in a motel bible
Runs on prayers and ten dollars worth of gas
some things are built to last
We’ll go on and on through the wear and tear
But there will come a time
When our best days have up and gone
Girl you will still be mine
It'll take wrinkles and rust to build a love like that
We were built to last
In ’72 they said I do and they made their get away
Tied the knot and coke-a-cola cans dragged behind that mustang
They didn’t know where they were heading, just knew there was life out there for the getting
Just like theirs our years will go by fast
Some things were built to last
We’ll go on and on through the wear and tear
But there will come a time
When our best days have up and gone
Girl you will still be mine
It'll take wrinkles and rust to build a love like that
We were built to last
Solid as steel, set in stone
Love is stronger than the things we own
We’ll go on and on through the wear and tear
But there will come a time
When our best days have up and gone
Girl you will still be mine
It'll take wrinkles and rust to build a love like that
We’ll go on and on through the wear and tear
But there will come a time
When our best days have up and gone
Girl you will still be mine
It'll take wrinkles and some rust to build a love like that
We were built to last
