Silver And Gold

(album: Damn Love - 2023)

Life is heavy, so heavy
Like a weight on your shoulders
And it comes at you hard and fast
Like a steamroller
So, you dig in your boots, dirty boots
Like a blue-collar soldier
'Cause you know if you don't, it'll run you
Run you right over

Love is a friend 'til it falls
For another
Then it feels like a knife in your back
From your brother
And hope is the blanket that you keep
Undercover
But you cling to it hard, like a child
To its mother
To its mother

I don't know a lot
But I've learned a little something
You make your luck
When you see the rain coming
And faith is the one thing
You better start trusting
'Cause all the silver and gold add up to nothing

Well, I had a girl, good girl
The kind a boy should treasure
Easy on my heart, easy on my mind
Had a good thing together

Well, I wanted more, little more
So, I went searching
Ended up with nothing but a lonely heart
And a whole lotta hurting
Just a whole lotta hurting

I don't know a lot
But I've learned a little something
You make your luck
When you see the rain coming
And faith is the one thing
You better start trusting
'Cause all the silver and gold add up to nothing

Well, I chased fame, and I chased fortune
With this old guitar
And good whiskey knows I tasted both
In every honky tonk, in every cowboy bar

Well, I looked around, and all I found
I was stranded
Holding the bag, greenbacks
But empty-handed, just empty-handed

I don't know a lot
But I've learned a little something
You make your luck
When you see the rain coming
And faith is the one thing
You better start trusting
'Cause all the silver and gold add up to nothing
All the silver and gold
All the silver and gold
