Davy McVie Songtext
von Rick Roberts

Well, Davey McPhee was an older man
He′d lived in nearly every town in the land
When he hit his strike in old New Mexico
He was forty-six and down on his luck
He'd been mining for years when he finally struck
Burned in the sun and frozen in the snow

Well, Davey, don′t you work so hard for the prize you found
It'll all be gone when you turn around
Nothing lasts forever anyway
And you're not so young and the time rolls by
It′ll all be gone when you blink your eyes
So take it easy, Davey, what you say

Now Davey went to town to find a lady
To get a little drunk, act a little crazy
To find someone he thought might share his bed
Well, he found a girl who said she′d go along
And he rolled in her arms most the whole night long
Well, he woke up in the morning nearly dead


Well, Davey, don't you work so hard for the prize you found
It′ll all be gone when you turn around
Nothing lasts forever anyway
And you're not so young and the time rolls by
It′ll all be gone when you blink your eyes
So take it easy, Davey, what you say

Now Davey, watch where you're going
You know you′re headed for a fall
You're the same man that you were before you shipped in
Money don't make you wiser
Money don′t make you tall
Just ′cause you got all the chips don't mean you′re gonna win

Davey, don't you work so hard for the prize you found
It′ll all be gone when you turn around
Nothing lasts forever anyway
And you're not so young and the time flies by
It′ll all be gone when you blink your eyes
So take it easy, Davey, what you say

Don't you know that nothing lasts forever anyway?
Come on and won't you take it easy, Davey, what you say
Take it easy
