Air pollution fills my lungs
Look at who I have become
Lost my shine like the city sun, hmm
Miss the blue and miss the waves
Of my seaside childhood days
Hm, since I moved away
Dreamed of my songs on the radio
But I ain't there yet, still got a way to go
And now I'm missing home, ohh
I left the right way call it stereo
Packed up my suitcase and hit the road
All alone
Mama taught me what I know
She said, "Life is hard if truth be told
You don't always get the things you're owed
That's why I wear silver over gold"
Mama taught me what I know
She said, "Life is hard if truth be told
You don't always get the things you're owed
That's why I wear silver over gold"
Ooh, aah ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I swear the ocean's never cold
When you're only six years old
My feet didn't even feel the stones
My feet know when they feel at home, yeah
Now home is just an old memory
I carry it around like jewellery, I -
Dreamt of my songs on the radio
But I ain't that yet got a way to go
And now I'm missing home, ooh
I left the right way call it stereo
Packed up my suitcase and hit the road
All alone
Mama taught me what I know
She said, "Life is hard if truth be told
You don't always get the things you're owed
That's why I wear silver over gold"
Mama taught me what I know
She said, "Life is hard if truth be told
You don't always get the, things you're owed
That's why I wear silver" (silver over gold)
Ooh, aah ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, aah ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
