Always Gold (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]

We were tight-knit boys, brothers in more than name

You would kill for me and knew I'd do the same

And it cut me sharp, hearing you'd gone away

But everything goes away, yeah, everything goes away

But I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing but bones in the ground

And I was there when you grew restless (Ooh)

And left in the dead of night (Ooh)

And I was there when three months later (Ooh)

You were standin' (Ooh) in the door, all beaten and tired

And I stepped aside

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'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing but bones in the ground

So quiet down

We were opposites at birth, I was steady as a hammer

And no one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be

And they said you were the crooked kind

That you would never have no worth, but you were always gold to me

And back when we were kids, we swore we knew the future

And our woods would take us halfway 'round the world

But I never left this town, and you never saw New York

And we ain't never crossed the sea

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)

But you can blame me when there's no one else to blame (Ooh)

Oh, I don't mind

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Ooh)

Ah-ah, ah-ah (Ooh)

Well 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 goes away?" Yeah everything goes away

But I'm gonna be here 'til forever, so I'm just call when you're around
