Biography:
Austin Texas in the 1970s saw the rise of a number of artists and Michael Murphey (as he was known then) is one of them. Carolina In The Pines and What's Forever For were chart hits for Michael, but over the years he's proven another song was the most prophetic - he really did just want to be a Cosmic Cowboy and in the later years he's filled the niche of Cowboy singer. Still his voice is a strong instrument and he's a likable performer.

Verse 1:
C Dm Dm7 C7 Dm Dm7 G7
I've been looking at people and how they change with the times;
C Dm C F
And lately all I've been seeing are people
C G7sus
Throwing love away and losing their minds;
Verse 2:
C Dm Dm7 C7 Dm Dm7 G7
Maybe it's me that's gone crazy, 'Cause I can't figure out why;
C Dm C F
All these lovers keep hurting each other,
C Dm7
When good love is so hard to come by;
Chorus
C Am Dm7 G7sus
So what's the glory in living?
G7 C Dm7 G7sus G7
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
C Dm7 C Dm7 C G C
And if love never lasts forever, tell me What's Forever For?
Verse 3:
C Dm Dm7 C7 Dm Dm7 G7
I've been listening to people and they say love is the key;
C Dm C F
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray;
C Dm7
It's only that I want to believe;
Chorus
F Em7 Am
I see love hungry people tryin' their best to survive,
Dm7 Em7
While in their head they dream of romance,
F G7sus
If they can keep it alive;
C Am Dm G7sus
So, what's the glory in living?
G7 C Am Dm G7sus G7
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
C Dm C F C G7 C Dm7
And if love never lasts forever, tell me What's Forever For?
