Nothing Gold Can Stay

California fires have shortened our summer season.  Then new normal 
is smoke filled skies . Devastation and total destruction of many communities among the foothills.  Winter Spring Summer Fall and Fire .

This song was written out of frustration towards this problem.
THE FIFTH SEASON  by Glenny G
Scorched earth bare trees 
Smoke and ash  adrift the breeze
Off in the distance I see the glow
A few miles from my home
I see the fire,  I see the fire come down my road
I see the fire,  I feel the heat down in my bones ( Music Break )
Evacuate don't delay 
Hell on earth is on it's way
One road in One way out
It's closing fast and there's no dought
I see the fire, I see the fire come down my road
I see the fire, I feel the heat down in my bones ( Music Break )
The landscapes forever changed
I must rebuild the chard and stained
Its been my home for many years
All I've lost so many tears
I see the fire, I see the fire come down my road
I see the fire , I feel the heat down in my bones
Were out  of time I can't explain
The devastation and there's no rain
The forest floors are thick with brush
Never cleared in god we trust
I see the fire, I see the fire  Come down my road
I see the fire, I feel the heat down in my bones

The Fifth Season ( Original ) With Lyrics

Half a Pack of Marlboro Lights and a Busted Chandelier

Not the best of days today, 
Bailiff breaking down my door.
Ain’t got no bread to pay
What he was asking for.
Stole my only chair away
It’s why I’m sittin' on the floor.
With all I got to see me right, this statement of arrears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Maybe time to hit the road
In my baby Buick Six.
Transmission fell out months ago
Standing up on bricks.
Seems every turn I’m knocked down low
By the devil’s dirty tricks.
Now all I got to see me right is a box of shredded gears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Chicken shack exploded
Feathers coming down for days
My moonshine still was overloaded
Time to mend my ways
Guess I always knowed it,
Life with the demon never pays
Now, all I got to get me through the night is an empty can of beer,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Never meant to shoot my hound,
I was aiming for the wife.
Seems I’m not the hottest shot in town.
Ain’t that the story of my life.
If there’s any bad luck kickin’ ‘round
It’ll head my way tonight.
Hell, all I got to see me right is a pocketful of tears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Half a Pack of Marlboro Lights and a Busted Chandelier
