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 k** 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
