Silver And Gold
I was born in the city, they call the big smoke I don't remember much til I was four years old That's when my mother and my father, went their separate ways It's the year I started school, didn't like it from the very first day
We grew up in the country, later by the sea Spent our days riding horses, bicycles bare feet We used to watch those mountain fires burn from that old trampoline We used to watch those mountain fires burn from that old trampoline
We didn't always need to know which train we're getting on Didn't always need to ride home the same old road We had everything we wanted, no need for silver and gold
We built a cubby house, high up in the tree Camp out on the weekends til it blew down in the wind And when that rain fell we'd run down to the creek collect tadpoles with our hands When that rain fell we'd run down to the creek collect tadpoles with our hands

When the trouble came to our door When the cops they're standing on the porch We were quick on our feet, we were young and naive Never knew things were harder than they seemed We never knew things were harder than they seemed
My mother worked hard every day she did her very best Visit my dad in the holidays in a dusty town out west And he took my twenty dollars, to buy some milk and bread He came home with a carton of beer and a pack of cigarettes
We didn't always need to know which train we're getting on Didn't always need to ride home the same old road We had everything we wanted, no need for silver and gold
