Silver and Gold

[Verse 1]
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!)

[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
