Golden

I've been broken down on the side of the road
Tank on E and a pocket full of no's
Phone full of numbers I don't dare call
'Cause I burned those bridges and I built these walls

I've been the last one leavin' every dive bar town
Chasin' bad habits 'til the sun came down
But every time the world turned cold on me
You were that light only I could see

I ain't much more than a story in scars
A beat up truck and a half healed heart
But when the whole damn sky looks gray and old
You turn it gold

In a world full of rust
You stayed golden
Shinin' through the dust of what I've broken
All those nights I almost lost my own way

You were the sunrise on my darkest days
Yeah this life gets rough but I keep holdin'
To the one good thing I ain't foreclosin'

In a world full of rust you stayed golden
You stayed golden

I've worn out boots on borrowed time
Lost good jobs and my peace of mind
Told myself I'd quit a thousand times
But the bottle keeps hummin' like a friend of mine

I've seen good love walk out my door
'Cause I loved the road just a little bit more
But you took my chaos held it in your hands
Turned a lost boy into half a man

I ain't no saint I ain't clean cut
Just nicotine prayers and a mouth that cussed
But you looked straight through the dirt and coal
And found my gold

In a world full of rust you stay golden
Shining through the dust of what I've broken

All those nights I almost lost my way
You were the sunrise on my darkest days
Yeah this life gets rough but I keep holdin'
To the one good thing I ain't foreclosin'

In a world full of rust you stay golden
You stay golden

Here's to the hearts that still believe
in broken men like me who leave
To every girl who ever loved a ghost who showed up late but needed you the most

If you've ever felt like you ain't enough
'Cause someone chose the road and the rush
I pray they see before you're gone
You were the gold in their goodbye songs

you took my fear and called it brave
Took my mess and called it saved
when all I saw was black and grey
You painted every day

In a world full of rust you stay golden
Shinin' through the dust of what I broken
All those nights I almost lost my mind

You were that hand pullin' me back in time
Yeah this road gets long but I keep rollin'
'Cause your kind of love feels heaven chosen
In a world full of rust you stayed golden

And if I ever make it out of this storm
Baby it's 'cause your heart stayed warm
I'm just Bob Rust with a borrowed soul

But you You're golden
