This is the original lyric:

Created
(c)2006 Robert George

After Dad finished dinner, he'd play guitar by the moon
listen to the nightbirds, tip a jug and write words to a lonesome tune
that song was like my brother, Dad raised both of us for years
he'd erase a line, and change a rhyme till it sang right to his ears

one day I found some paper, by his guitar and pen
his last verse was gone, so I took that song and tried to finish the end
It's tough trying to get it, as good as I can make it
cos the best songs never stop, being created

well, I fell for a fallen angel, whose wings were caked with dust
one night she said "Darlin', I'm headed back to Harlan on the morning bus"
I heard that restless lady, loved men more than love
she threw away my heart, like the hand of fate discards its bloody gloves

though I've crossed out some mem'ries, changed my tune and learned
I don't curse dues I've paid, cos each mistake I've made, made me better in return
I came into this life, weak and poor and naked
but a good man never stops, being created

well, I can see the nightwings, silouhette the moon
as I sit here alone, by my father's stone and sing his lonesome tune
just when I think it's finished, I rewrite it again
and just like those lines, I b'lieve my father's time hasn't reached its end

somewhere the spirit sings, when the flesh has faded
cos a good man never stops, being created

no, we never stop being created
we never stop being created...
