"Silver And Gold" lyrics

My mama worked for Franklin country
Raised me across the tracks
Your daddy worked for a city school
Didn't like me seeing you
The thing about growing up around here
Yellow lights they start to flash
Late at night that's how we knew
It was time to Do the things we'd do

Had no money in our pockets ya' know
But we had everything that we could want

We were silver and gold
Wrote our names up in the sky
Legends of the night
Fire and smoke
Burning two black lines in my trans-am
You were holding tight to my hand
And a dime store timepiece
Don't shine like city light
And a pawn shop ring ain't the brightest in the night
But we were silver and gold

Had a lightning strike about you
Every time I'd pick you up
Thought we could last forever
And this town would be enough

Had no money in our pockets ya' know
But we had everything that we could want

We were silver and gold
Wrote our names up in the sky
Legends of the night
Fire and smoke
Burning two black lines in my trans-am
You were holding tight to my hand
And a dime store timepiece
Don't shine like city light
And a pawn shop ring ain't the brightest in the night
But we were silver and gold
Yeah we were silver and gold

We were silver and gold
Wrote our names up in the sky
Legends of the night
Fire and smoke
Burning two black lines in my trans-am
You were holding tight to my hand
And a dime store timepiece
Don't shine like city light
And a pawn shop ring ain't the brightest in the night
But we were silver and gold
But we were silver and gold
