Always gold

We were tight knit boysBrothers in more than nameYou would kill for meAnd knew that I'd do the sameAnd it cut me sharpHearing you'd gone away

But everything goes awayYeah, everything goes awayBut I'm going to be hereUntil I'm nothingBut bones in the ground

And I was there,When you grew restlessLeft in the dead of nightAnd I was thereWhen three months laterYou were standing in the doorAll beat and tiredAnd I stepped aside

Everything goes awayYeah, everything goes awayBut I'm gonna be hereUntil I'm nothingBut bones in the groundSo quiet down

We were opposites at birthI was steady as a hammerNo one worried'Cause they knew just where I'd beAnd they said you were the crooked kindAnd that you'd never have no worthBut you were always gold to me

And back when we were kidsWe swore we knew the futureAnd our words would take usHalf way 'round the worldBut I never left this townAnd you never saw New YorkAnd we ain't ever cross the sea

But I am fine with where I am nowThis home is home, and all that I needBut for you, this place is shameBut you can blame meWhen there's no one left to blame

Oh I don't mind

All my lifeI've never known where you've beenThere were holes in youThe kind that I could not mend

And I heard you sayRight when you left that dayDoes everything go away?Yeah, everything goes away

But I'm going to be here 'til foreverSo just call when you're around
