lyrics

i’ve always worn silver
i never wanted gold
the choice was given to me & i
put it on hold
to hold fast to my heart & not a
band of gold
i guess i didn’t believe it would
really take away the cold

i’ve never worn a dress that i
couldn’t run away in
& it’s taken me years just to
learn how to wear it well
there’s something bout silver
leaves you feeling high and
bright
it’s less of a letdown when
you take it off alone at night

i’ve always worn silver
i never wanted gold
the choice was given to me
& i took all the colors of the
world
cuz what is wealth if you’re
always in need & you count on
love more than you ever count
your money?

the first time i thought about it
i was maybe thirteen
when i heard my mother use
the word to say how she felt
about her babies
(she said) maybe it wasn’t easy
but i felt rich inside
& i wouldn’t trade a single hard
night to be a common bride

i’ve never walked as far with
anybody as i’ve walked alone
it doesn’t mean i don’t wanna
love
it just means i don’t want to
do it wrong
i know money won’t buy but a
house
& all the tears you cry inside it
won’t pay the bills

& i’ll never wear down the path
between you and me
may we meet again and again
wherever we can be free
on a west texas road i watch
my dreams come to life as i
chase a sun that falls into a
silver sky
