NO GUARANTEE BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

you work every day
tossing turning all night
for the debts you must pay
just to set things right
and all of your sins
all of your mistakes
don't know where to begin
don't know where it will break
you try to be strong
you try to be free
but there's no guarantee
no guarantee

there's no guarantee
that there's life after death
there's no guarantee
that you'll draw the next breath
you struggle for heat
you struggle for gold
but there's no guarantee
that you'll ever grow old
take each day as it runs
hoping morning will come
but there's no guarantee
no guarantee

they tell you to trust
the promise they made
but you never know
when all hope will fade
your heart skips a beat
it may start up again
but you never know
when it comes to end
still you gotta go on
no matter what may be
cause there's no guarantee
no guarantee

there was a time
I thought I would live
forever defined
by my will to give
but I was a fool
so naive and so dumb
I thought I was cool
but I was under their thumb
and now that I know
it's much too late
I'm a victim of fate

there's no guarantee
that there's life after death
there's no guarantee
that you'll draw the next breath
you struggle for heat
you struggle for gold
but there's no guarantee
that you'll ever grow old
take each day as it runs
hope a morning will come
but there's no guarantee
