Stay Gold

Standing outside of Dollar General

Another MLK Boulevard

Getting one more bag of dime store weed

To smoke in my backyard

Well I'm so damn bored I could cut myself

Only four more hours to kill

Every day until my mom gets out of working at the mill

You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy

Don't let them get you down

While the locals work for coffee

Remember You own this town

Not a soul is gonna listen

Yeah, your scream won't make a sound

With a world so black and white, boy

Stay gold, gold, gold, gold

We went by the Marietta train tracks

Where your sister lost her days

Traded a dirty magazine

To the pinball guy for plays

I remember you always saying

If you ever got out alive

You'd quit using and get married to

That girl on page twenty-five

You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy

Don't let them get you down

While the locals all work for taxes

Remember that you own this town

Not a soul is gonna listen

Yeah, your scream won't make a sound

With a world so black and white, boy

Stay gold, gold

Stay gold, gold

You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy

Don't let them get you down

While the locals all work for taxes

Remember that you own this town

Not a soul is gonna hear you

Yeah, your scream won't make a sound

With a world so black and white, boy

Stay gold, gold

Stay gold, gold
