Silver Run

See that girl with blond hair

Life's shake wasn't quite fair

Never had a choice but to grow up

Mama wasn't always around

Her blood father's in the ground

She'd crawl before she used it as a crutch

Silver run, silver linin'

A flower growin' through asphalt

Yet her roots are twice as strong

Never done, always climbin'

Been a fighter all along

She's only afraid to fall

In love with me

It'd take me half a tank of gas

To run her around and back

County roads ate my tires to the cords

She cost me a lot of sleep

And the way I used to be

But I'd do it all again and even more

Silver run, silver linin'

A flower growin' through asphalt

Yet her roots are twice as strong

Never done, always climbin'

Been a fighter all along

She's only afraid to fall

In love with me

We left home to come here

City lights expose our fears

A county girl at heart you can't deny

I don't care much for the traffic

Isolation is my habit

Find a holler for me to raise up mine

Silver run, silver linin'

A flower growin' through asphalt

Yet her roots are twice as strong

Never done, always climbin'

Been a fighter all along

She's only afraid to fall

In love with me
