Air pollution fills my lungs
Look at who I have become
Lost my shine like the city sun
Mister blue and mister gray
All my seas are chocolate daze
Since I moved away
Dreamed of my songs on the radio
But I ain't that yet got a way to go
And now I'm missing home
I left the back way call a stereo
Pack up my suitcase and hit the road
All alone
Mama taught me what I know
She said, "Life is hard if truth be told
You don't always get the things you're owed
That's why I wear silver over gold"
Mama taught me what I know
She said, "Life is hard if truth be told
You don't always get the things you're owed
That's why I wear silver over gold"
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I swear the ocean's never cold
When you're only six years old
My feet in if they feel the stones
Feet go in they feel at home, yeah
Now home is just a little boring
I carry it while I don't know, ay
Dreamed of my songs on the radio
But I ain't that yet got a way to go
And now I'm missing home
I left the back way call a stereo
Pack up my suitcase and hit the road
All alone
Mama taught me what I know
She said, "Life is hard if truth be told
You don't always get the things you're owed
That's why I wear silver over gold"
Mama taught me what I know
She said, "Life is hard if truth be told
You don't always get the things you're owed
That's why I wear silver-" (silver over gold)
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
