Walker, Butch - Stay Gold Lyrics






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

  24. B.... T....

    I think my favorite part about Butch's music is his ability to paint such a picture with his lyrics and combine it so beautifully with his arrangements, this tune has some Texas Country sounding riffs but when his voice kicks in, it has that honeyed scent of Rock Americana

  25. S.... ....

    i raped the replay button on these two new songs.. why so late release day? :( i need this album for summer man... :(

  26. P.... J....

    That gif could be used as a mind control device. It's hard to look away.

    April Stay gold, Ponyboy!

    A.... M....

    Nature’s first green is gold,
    Her hardest hue to hold,
    Her early leaf’s a flower,
    But only so an hour,
    Then leaf subsides to leaf,
    So Eden sank to grief,
    So dawn goes down to day,
    Nothing gold can stay.”

    A.... M....

    Tianna Kelly "Robert Frost wrote it....I always remembered it cuz I never quite knew what he meant by it." Stay gold, Pony Boy ☺
