[Verse 1]
Air pollution fills my lungs
Look at who I have become
Lost my shine like a city sun
Miss the blues and miss the greys
Of my seaside childhood days
Since I moved away

[Pre-Chorus]
Dreamed of my songs on the radio
But I ain't that yet got a way to go
And now I'm missing home
I left the back way call a stereo
Pack up my suitcase and hit the road
All alone

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I swear the ocean's never cold
When you're only six years old
My feet in if they feel the stones
Feet go in they feel at home
Now home is just a little boring
I carry it while I [?]

[Pre-Chorus]
Dreamed of my songs on the radio
But I ain't that yet got a way to go
And now I'm missing home
I left the back way call a stereo
Pack up my suitcase and hit the road
All alone

[Chorus]
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
