Silver and Gold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Life is heavy, so heavy Like a weight on your shoulders And it comes at your hard and fast Like a steamroller, mmm yeah So you dig in your boots, dirty boots Like a blue-collar soldier (oh, yeah!) 'Cause you know if you don't, it'll run you Run you right over, ooh yeah (oh, yeah!) [Verse 2] Love is a friend till it falls for another And it feels like a knife in your back From your brother, mmm yeah (oh, yeah!) And hope is the blanket that you keep (That you keep, that you keep, that you keep) Undercover (oh, yeah!) But you cling to it hard like a child To its mother, to its mother [Chorus] 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 trustin' 'Cause all the silver and gold add up to nothing [Verse 3] Well, I had a girl, good girl The kind a boy should treasure (oh, yeah!) Easy on my heart, easy on my mind Had a good thing together (oh, yeah!) Well, I wanted more, little more So I went searching, hey (oh, yeah!) Ended up with nothing but a lonely heart And a whole lot of hurting Just a whole lot of hurting [Chorus] 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 trustin' 'Cause all the silver and gold add up to nothing [Post-Chorus] Hey! Hey! [Verse 4] Well, I chase fame and I chase fortune With this old guitar, yeah (oh, yeah!) And good whiskey knows I've tasted both In every honky-tonk, every cowboy bar, hey! (oh, yeah!) Well, I looked around and all I found I was stranded (oh, yeah!) Holdin' the bag of greenbacks But empty-handed, just empty-handed (oh, yeah!) [Chorus] 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 trustin' 'Cause all the silver and gold add up to nothing [Outro] All the silver and gold All the silver and gold
