Radney Foster - Old Silver Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Old silver died last Saturday evenin'
  • Or was it more like ten years ago
  • She nailed two dozen roses to the top of his coffin
  • And buried'em deep where they never would grow
  • Lord she buried'em deep where they never would grow
  • Now the Irish are funny, they'll cry when they have to
  • And the lady she moaned such a mournful sound
  • Me and the Mexican just finished the bottle
  • And remembered the days when Old Silver was around
  • Yeah remembered the days when Old Silver was around
  • 'Cause Old Silver took the best of it with him
  • The lovers and the dealers and the dreamers of dreams
  • And Old Silver took the love of a lady
  • Who never got over Old Silver and me
  • Lord she never got over Old Silver and me
  • Old Silver had the magic and he carried the money
  • With the grace of a gambler and he lost it with ease
  • And he knew his lines better than any good carny barker
  • Wore the best damn boots that you ever have seen
  • He had the best snake-skin boots that you ever have seen
  • Now the lady she loved him and she never asked questions
  • Though she laid awake wonderin' on many a night
  • She swore she was leavin' most every mornin'
  • But she always would kiss him when he turned out the lights
  • She was always right there when he turned out the lights
  • CHORUS
  • Now there's always a sidekick in every B-western
  • Who's always in love with a lady who leaves
  • But she can't stand the memory so I really don't blame her
  • For taking the very first Greyhound she'd seen
  • But god I hate her for takin' the first Greyhound she'd seen
  • CHORUS
  • Old Silver died last Saturday evenin'
  • Or was it more like ten years ago
