Silver Run

(album: Mercy - 2021)

See that girl with blonde hair
Life's shake wasn't quite fair
Never had a choice but to grow up
Mama wasn't always around
Her blood father's in the ground
She'd crawl before she used it as a crutch

Silver run, silver lining
A flower growing through asphalt
Yet her roots are twice as strong
Never done always climbing
Been a fighter all along
She's only afraid to fall
In love with me

It'd take me half a tank of gas
To run her around and back
County roads ate my tyres to the cords
She cost me a lot of sleep
And the way I used to be
But I'd do it all again and even more

Silver run, silver lining
A flower growing through asphalt
Yet her roots are twice as strong
Never done always climbing
Been a fighter all along
She's only afraid to fall
In love with me

We left home to come here
City lights expose our fears
A county girl at heart you can't deny
I don't care much for the traffic
Isolation is my habit
Find a holler for me to raise up mine

Silver run, silver lining
A flower growing through asphalt
Yet her roots are twice as strong
Never done always climbing
Been a fighter all along
She's only afraid to fall
In love with me
