Fireproof Storage

You tell me it’s in writing—well, that ain’t worth a damn
You show me a signature, and I’ll show you a scam
Oaths and vows, well, they’re just like the paper that they’re on
'Cause paper burns, and paper turns to ash, and then it’s gone
Now you lock up your treasures in fireproof storage for to keep 'em all safe
and sound
What you gonna do when your fireproof storage burns right down to the ground?
If you seek Eternity, want to hold it in your hand
I would say you’ll have to stray away from the ways of Man
Ride out to the mountains, they will stand till the clocks run down
It’s safe out there, but friend, beware when you ride back into town
Where you lock up your treasures in fireproof storage for to keep 'em all safe
and sound
What you gonna do when your fireproof storage burns right down to the ground?
Like this…
Way back when, you had a friend, the best you’ve ever known
But it weren’t secure, 'cause ya can’t insure what you’ve only got on loan
Once upon a time, you had a lover sweet and kind
And they were true, came through for you—until they changed their mind
Now you lock up your treasures in fireproof storage for to keep 'em all safe
and sound
What you gonna do when your fireproof storage burns right down to the ground?
I said you locked up your treasures in fireproof storage for to keep 'em all
safe and sound
What you gonna do now your fireproof storage has burnt right down to the,
burnt right down to the, burnt right down to the ground?
