Lyrics:
Death is not my friend
But we’ve always kept in touch
We both know about the end
But we don’t talk about it much
That’s alright, yeah that’s alright
I’m not searching for salvation
I’m just looking for a place to crash
When I find a little peace of mind
I know it just won’t last
That’s alright, that’s the way it is
I know it just has to be that way
I know it just has to be that way
Ten billion years from now
The sun is going to burn out
Everything’s got to go sometime
There’s nothing I can do about it
That’s alright, that’s alright
Cause the crik runs to the river
And the river runs to the sea
everything ‘s runnin somewhere
Tryin to find some place to be
That’s alright, that’s the way it is
I know it just has to be that way
I know it just has to be that way
We ain’t here for long and we can’t really stay
I know it just has to be that way
The days are getting darker
The night becomes so black
As the light completely fades away
Well there ain’t no coming back
That’s alright, yeah that’s alright
I don’t believe in much
But I do believe in you
We’ll do the best with what we got
That’s all we can do
That’s alright, that’s the way it is
I know it just has to be that way
I know it just has to be that way
We ain’t here for long and we can’t really stay
I know it just has to be that way

Always a fan, miss Iowa at times, 22 years in Keokuk. Now, down in New Mexico walking toward God and my time. Always soulful music, we need the healing and this song ushers it in. Glad to see you doing fine Will.

Great as always. My parents used to be huge fans of your music and would listen to you all the time. I was very young then and didn't remember most of it or even your name up until a few months ago when Old Devils came up in my Spotify queue and the memories came flooding back. I've been realizing how much your work has influenced so much of everything I've created subconsciously. I'm 16 now, and learning guitar and banjo because I want to write my own music. You remain one of my biggest inspirations.
