Always Gold (Short Attention Span Mix)
We were tight-nit boys
brother's in more than name
You would kill for me
and knew that 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 am gonna be here 'til I'm nothin'
But bones in the ground
And I was there when you grew restless
You left in the dead of night
And I was there when three months later
You were standing in the door
all beaten and tired
And I stepped aside

Everything goes away
Yeah, everything goes away
But I am gonna be here 'til I'm nothin'
But bones in the ground
So quiet down
We were opposites at birth
I was steady as a hammer
And no one worried
Because 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 how our wits would take us
Half-way around the world

But I never left this town
And you never saw New York
And we ain't ever crossed the sea
But I am fine with where I am now
This home is home, and all that I need
But for you this place is shame
But you can blame me
When there's no one left to blame
Oh, I don't mind

And 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 go away
Yeah, everything goes away
But I am gonna be here 'til forever
So just call when you're around
