Damned Rivers - Built to Last Lyrics

He was hanging on by the spurs of his boots
Lord, he tried to climb but he fell down every chute
His failure sometimes seemed absolute
But he kept on truckin

He keeps on like it was his only task
If you're in is way he will strike you hard and fast
He's got no other choice, if he stops he'll get passed
Yeah honey he was built to last

Nothing gets graded on a curve
His aim is as true as his word
Though as loud as he gets he is rarely ever heard
He keeps on singing

He'll take a swig if he's handed a flask
His language sometimes gets too crass
It's cause he's faced the fights and he's faced the facts
Yeah honey he was built to last

These things we think about
Never really seem to bother me
I was really kinda hoping
You would agree cause
I might seem crazy
Thinking the past was in the past
You know honey I'm built to last, yeah

He'll bend but you'll never see him snap
He leaves the past back in the past
And if you can't find the words for his epitaph
It's cause honey he was built to last
