Always Gold

[Verse 1]
We were tight knit boys, brothers in more than name
You would kill for me and knew that I'd do the same
And it cut me sharp, hearing you'd gone away
But everything goes away, yeah, everything goes away

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm going to be here until I'm nothing
But bones in the ground

[Chorus]
And I was there when you grew restless
Left in the dead of night
And I was there when three months later
You were standing in the door all beat and tired
And I stepped aside

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Everything goes away, yeah, everything goes away
But I am gonna be here 'til I'm nothing but bones in the ground
So quiet down

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
We were opposites at birth, I was steady as a hammer
And no one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be
No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be
And they said you were the crooked kind and that you'd never have no worth
But you were always gold to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
And back when we were kids, we swore we knew the future
And our words would take us half way 'round the world
But I never left this town, and you never saw New York
And we ain't ever cross the sea

[Chorus]
But I am fine with where I am now (Ooh)
This home is home, and all that I need (Ooh)
But for you, this place is shame (Ooh, ooh)
But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame (Ooh, ooh)
Oh, I don't mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Ooh)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah (Ooh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh (Ooh)
Ah, ah, ah (Ooh)

[Outro]
All my life, I've never known where you've been
There were holes in you, the kind that I could not mend
And I heard you say, right when you left that day
Does everything go away?" Yeah, everything goes away
But I'm going to be here 'til forever, so just call when you're around
