stay gold

Butch Walker

Standing outside of Dollar General
Another MLK boulevard
Getting one more bag of dime store weed
To smoke in my backyard
Well I m so damn bored I could cut myself
Only four more hours to kill
Every day until my mom gets out of working at the mill

You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy
Don t let them get you down
While the locals work for coffee
Remember You own this town
Not a soul is gonna listen
Yeah, your scream won t make a sound
With a world so black and white, boy
Stay gold, gold, gold, gold

We went by the Marietta train tracks
Where your sister lost her days
Traded a dirty magazine
To the pinball guy for plays
I remember you always saying
If you ever got out alive
You d quit using and get married to
That girl on page twenty-five

You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy
Don t let them get you down
While the locals all work for taxes
Remember that you own this town
Not a soul is gonna listen
Yeah, your scream won t make a sound
With a world so black and white, boy
Stay gold, gold
Stay gold, gold

You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy
Don t let them get you down
While the locals all work for taxes
Remember that you own this town
Not a soul is gonna hear you
Yeah, your scream won t make a sound
With a world so black and white, boy
Stay gold, gold
Stay gold, gold
