Lyrics
Silver to Gold
Verse:
Tommy leaves early every morning for his nine to five
It don?t pay much but it keeps him and Becky alive
He?s got a dream of taking him and Becky away
But the sweatin and the blood and standing in the mud just can?t be the only way
Prechorus:
At the long day?s end, she meets him with a smile
You know he don?t know when things will get better
Tommy says
Chorus:
Someday baby we?ll be someplace nice
We?ll find a tree that?s shady, a big blue blanket, and make love once or twice
Forget the bills we owe and the troubles we know, let?s be happy and grow old
Someday baby we?ll turn silver to gold
Verse:
Becky?s on the front porch thinking bout what could?ve been
She?s dreamin bout babies and white picket fences again
Tommy comes home with a dozen red roses and wine
He says baby don?t be blue, there?s only me and you and everything?s gonna be fine
Prechorus:
After ten long years, she still can make him smile
You know she don?t know when things will get better
Chorus
Prechorus
