Solid Gold

By Ella Henderson

[Intro + Partial Chorus]

We've been told too many stories, that the writings on the wall

Feel my soul, feel my warm and wicked thirst

Now, I'm free of all my troubles

And I'm shaking off the curse


[Verse 1]

I've been arguing with the voices in my mind

I've been rolling round like a penny on the side

And I'm here on my knees , so Lord help me out

Oh, heaven lift me up and put my feet back on the ground

I tried to walk a mile with the shackles on my shoes

Ain't hard to risk it all when you've got nothing to lose

They say he can drop the shadows of my sins

So I'm knocking on the door, until the big guy let's me in


[Chorus]

Look around, all you see is solid gold

We've been told too many stories, that the writings on the wall

Feel my soul, feel my warm and wicked thirst

Now, I'm free of all my troubles

And I'm shaking off the curse

'Cause, I've got one more round to go

Tell the devil, go hit the road

Leave your dirt at the door

'Cause, we've got one more round to go

And I've been working to the bone

Tell my baby, I'm coming home

Pour it up, let it roll

'Cause, we've got one more round to go


[Verse 2]

You try and play it right, but you end up on your own

Stand up and roll the dice, before your days are gone

They try to shoot me down, like a rabbit on the run

But how you gonna kill me, with no bullet in the gun


[Chorus]

Look around, all you see is solid gold

We've been told too many stories, that the writings on the wall

Feel my soul, feel my warm wicked thirst

Now, I'm free of all my troubles

And I'm shaking off the curse

'Cause, I've got one more round to go

Tell the devil, go hit the road

Leave your dirt at the door

'Cause, we've got one more round to go

And I've been working to the bone

Tell my baby, I'm coming home

Pour it up, let it roll

'Cause, we've got one more round to go


[Bridge]

'Cause I, I've lost my self control

So I, oh, I pray and I pray and I pray

Solid gold


[Chorus]

Look around, all you see is solid gold

We've been told too many stories, that the writings on the wall

Feel my soul, feel my warm and wicked thirst

Now, I'm free of all my troubles

And I'm shaking off the curse

'Cause, I've got one more round to go

Tell the devil, go hit the road

Leave your dirt at the door

'Cause, we've got one more round to go

And I've been working to the bone

Tell my baby, I'm coming home

Pour it up, let it roll

'Cause, We've got one more round to go

(Cause, we've got one more round to go)


[Chorus + Outro]

'Cause, I've got one more round to go

Tell the devil to go hit the road

'Cause, we've got one more round to go

And I've been working to the bone

Tell my baby, I'm coming home

Pour it up, let it roll

'Cause, we've got one more round to go

'Cause, I've got one more round to go

Tell the devil to go hit the road

We've got one more round to go

And I've been working to the bone

Tell my baby, I'm coming home

Pour it up, let it roll

We've got one more round to go
