Fate Will Not Forget

Fate Will Not Forget ©2015 Robert George BMI

I remember I was 23 or 24
When I saw that Telecaster in a music store
Since I was a kid I’d always wanted one
It’s the model Springsteen had on Born to Run

But back then I just could not afford a new guitar
Then I saw a preppie put it on his new gold card
Six months later at a big estate sale outside town
It was on a dusty table with the price marked down

And it looked like it had never given birth to a song
As if somehow it was waitin’ on me all along

I learned fate will not forget
If a thing is meant to be
This world turns on mystic wheels
Till it reaches destiny
So if good fortune
Hasn’t found you yet
Rest assured someday, life will turn your way
Cos fate will not forget

Sometime later I’d been booked for my first tour
I was sittin’ in a quiet bar the night before
And I saw a lady order up a Cuervo Gold with lime
Then she played some jukebox music from another time

And somehow we got to talkin’ Dylan, Bruce and Merle
And our conversation outshined her golden curls
Time went by and that night blurred into a foggy dream
Then one day I played a festival in New Orleans

O my life had been maneuvered by a magical hand
She was singer and guitarist in a rock n roll band

I learned fate will not forget
If a thing is meant to be
This world turns on mystic wheels
Till it reaches destiny
So if good fortune
Hasn’t found you yet
Rest assured someday, life will turn your way
Cos fate will not forget


There’s a far horizon
Where the future’s hidden
That’s where songs and lives are
Waiting to be written
If your time is slipping
Slowly toward September
Let your heart be hopeful
And then just remember


That our fate will not forget
If a thing is meant to be
This world turns on mystic wheels
Till it reaches destiny
So if good fortune
Hasn’t found you yet
Rest assured someday, life will turn your way
Cos fate will not forget


Music is a gift the heavens bring
Love is music it takes two to sing…
