Silver And Gold

Life is heavy, so heavy Like a weight on your shoulders And it comes at your heart 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) Love is a friend, 'til it falls for another And it feels like a knife in your back From your brother, mm-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 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 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 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 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, in every cowboy bar, hey! (Oh, yeah) Well, I looked around and all I found I was stranded (oh, yeah) Holdin' the bags of greenbacks But empty-handed, just empty-handed (oh, yeah) 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 All the silver and gold All the silver and gold
