Gold Chains [Final]

[Intro] Strumming guitars under a neon glow, Welcome y'all to the grandest show. [Verse 1] In the town of glitter, where dreams are sold, Every smile's bought and every heart's cold. Drive down Main Street, stars in your eyes, Behind every light, a truth in disguise. [Chorus] Raise your glass, toast to the high life, Where the stars are born from strife. In the glow of the flash, lose your own way, Chasing dreams at the break of day. [Verse 2] ... [Verse 2] Johnny came to town, with a guitar and a dream, Singing under lights where the stars are seen. But the glitter fades fast by the light of day, Now he plays for tips in a café, lost in the fray. [Bridge] Whiskey and rumors, the fuel of this town, Where the talk is cheap and the laughs are loud. But look past the shine, you might see, The chains of gold that don't set you free. [Instrumental Break] [Melodic Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Break] [Plucked Guitar] [Chorus] Raise your glass, toast to the high life, Where the stars dim under strife. In the glow of the flash, find your own way, Chasing dreams at the break of day. [Outro] So welcome to the city, the land of the new, Where the American dream waits for you. Strumming guitars fade out slow, Under the neon's deceptive glow.
