Silver Over Gold

Air pollution fills my lungs

Look at who I have become

Lost my shine like the city sun

Miss the blue and miss the waves

Of my seas of childhood days

Since I moved away

I dreamed of my songs on the radio

But I ain't that yet, still got a way to go

And now I'm missing home

I left the back way call a stereo

Pack up my suitcase and hit the road

All alone

Mama taught me what I know

She said life is hard if truth be told

You don't always get the things you owed

That's why I wear silver over gold

Mama taught me what I know

She said life is hard if truth be told

You don't always get the things you owed

That's why I wear silver over gold

I swear the ocean's never cold

When you're only six years old, oh-oh

My feet in if they feel the stones

Feet go in they feel at home

Now home is just a little boring

I carry it while I do the rain, yeah

I dreamed of my songs on the radio

But I ain't that yet, still got a way to go

And now I'm missing home

I left the back way call a stereo

Pack up my suitcase and hit the road

All alone

Mama taught me what I know

She said life is hard if truth be told

You don't always get the things you owed

That's why I wear silver over gold

Mama taught me what I know

She said life is hard if truth be told

You don't always get the things you owed

That's why I wear silver, silver over gold
