Always Gold - Acoustic

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 forever, so come call when you're around

We were opposites at birth, I was steady as a hammer
No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be
But they said you were the crooked kind
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
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 goes away?" Yeah everything goes away
But I'm gonna be here 'til forever, so I'm just call when you're around
