Of Mice and Men (original lyrics)

November 9, 2024 at 1:10 AMv3.5

[Intro] “I can still tend the rabbits, George?" [Verse 1] On California's roads in the fading light Two drifters walk to escape the night George's eyes fixed on the future at hand Lennie pines for the fatta the lan' [Chorus] We chase the dreams that slip away In a world that makes us pay Side by side till the end This is a story of mice and men [Verse 2] Lennie loves creatures soft and small But his strength becomes his fall Whispered hopes 'neath the stars Saving up for their own farm [Chorus] We chase the dreams that fade to gray In a world that's gone astray Side by side till the end This is a story of mice and men [Bridge] The cards are stacked, the dice are thrown In a country where mercy's never shown George holds a fate he can't defend A heavy heart, a bitter end [Verse 3] By the river where the willow weeps George tells tales before Lennie eternally sleeps With trembling hands and a whispered prayer Frees his simple friend from despair [Chorus] We chase the dreams that can't stay In a world that takes them away Side by side till the end This is a story of mice and men [Outro] Footsteps fade on the path of dust Leaving behind broken trust Side by side till the end This is a story of mice and men (© 2024)
