Lots of Blues, Way More Gold (A.R.C. 8)

[Intro] Let that lead sink to the creek bed. I’m done haulin’ your rusted iron. Shake it off… let it rot where it lays. [Verse 1] Y’all are hootin’ and hollerin’ in the briar patch Tryin’ to hook my hem, tryin’ to start a scratch. But I’m steppin’ light, steppin’ wide; Got the Holy Spirit and the Devil on a landslide. You’re throwin’ shade from a shallow well I’m drinkin’ sunshine and raisin’ hell. You burn down to a pile of gray? I’m the embers that refuse to fade. [Vocal Break] Mm-hmm… Wash it downstream, honey… Keep the shine in the pan… Leave the mud for the dogs… [Chorus] Trade the blues for the solid gold I got a mouthful of lightning, truth be told. (Flash that gold tooth grin) Keep the circle tight, keep the porch light dim Nothin’ heavy gets a chance to swim. Less of the blues, more of the shine I’m walkin’ a crooked, jagged line. You keep the talk, I’ll keep the ghost I’m over the ridge before you can toast. [Verse 2] You’re lookin’ for a friction, lookin’ for a spark But I’m the cold water movin’ through the dark. You want a storm? You want a scene? I’m the quietest riot you ever seen. Nothin’ sticks when you’re coated in grease Nothin’ breaks when you’ve found your peace. [Breakdown] Shout it out! I’m deaf to the wind. Swing that axe! Watch the blade bend. No pull. No strain. You’re all thunder… And I’m the rain. [ED-Banjo Instrumental] [Final Hook] Less blues. More gold. Mountain heart. Deep fried soul. Less blues. More gold. Watch me rise. Watch me roll. [ED-Banjo Instrumental] [Outro] Yeah… see that flash? That’s the sun hittin’ my tooth. (I'm grinnin') Keep your blues. I’ll keep the gold.
