Always Gold (Album Version)

We were tight-knit boys, brothers in more than name
 You would kill for me and knew I'd do the same
 And it cut me sharp, hearing you'd gone away
 But everything goes away, yeah, everything goes away
 But I'm gonna be here 'til forever, so come call when you're around
 We were opposites at birth, I was steady as a hammer
 No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be
 But they said you were the crooked kind
 You would never have no worth, but you were always gold to me
 And back when we were kids, we swore we knew the future
 And our woods would take us halfway 'round the world
 But I never left this town, and you never saw New York
 And we ain't never crossed the sea
 But I am fine with where I am now
 This home is home and all that I need
 But for you, this place is shame
 But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame
 Oh, I don't mind
 And all my life, I've never known where you've been
 There were holes in you, the kind that I could not mend
 And I heard you say, right when you left that day
 "Does everything goes away?" Yeah everything goes away
 But I'm gonna be here 'til forever, so I'm just call when you're around
