I found a silver bracelet that I bought for my first wife
Found it tossed into that box from when I lived another life
I found a silver tooth that got punched out when I was drunk
Back when every night was wild before I lived here like a monk
I found a silver bullet I had stashed here in my safe
Behind 16 grand in cash in a box marked "just in case"
I found your silver train between the cushions of the couch
And my knees gave out
It's coming and it's gonna be a long night
When you find tarnish on the relics from my past lives
I hope it doesn't pull the glimmer out of your eyes
Take it easy on me
I found a golden ticket but never read that little print
I had golden opportunities leave pockets full of lint
Every golden calf I worshiped melted in the sun
I praise the golden arches, pay my bills, and load my guns
I found "Golden Slumbers" in my old man's forty-fives
Silly rabbit keeping rock and roll and Jesus Christ alive
I found a golden goose here and I squeeze her neck for songs
I never got a golden record I guess the melodies are wrong
It's coming and it's gonna be a long night
When you find tarnish on the relics from my past lives
I hope it doesn't pull the glimmer out of your eyes
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
I found this golden state but man it turned into a grind
I stood on that Golden Gate and almost left it all behind
Watched our golden paradise wither in a drought
And my knees gave out
It's coming and it's gonna be a long night
When you find tarnish on the relics from my past lives
I hope it doesn't pull the glimmer out of your eyes
Take it easy on me
