VerseGI took the fool's gold from my nCickel pocket
Watched it flake in the mGorning sun
When a wGave of punishing heat
KCissed the crown of my head
Suddenly I was awGare of myself
DI picked up the pay phone and dCialed my parents
Only I had forgotten my mEmother had passed
I heard flDapping pages in a creCosote bush
I walked towEmards them
TB7hey were full of womenA7
With blGurred out crotches
And sEmtars for nipples
And an aCd for the Red Man bGurning my lDip
That I Ggot from a Guinness WEmorld Record Holder
For the loCngest fall living
And he wGalked with a lDimp
And we sangChorusGGold and silver, GEmod and glitter
LiCghts that flicker on hGubcap chrDome
On the rGoad to Heaven
In StrEmauss and Stetson
SwCimming pools of horsepower
TGake me back hDomeG
VerseSmGoke signals rise from a ‘44G7
CChevy Fleetline
On the bridge of the BoGulder Dam
I jGump from the edge
Into the sG7ilvery cold CColorado
Taken back by my shGock response
DI grabbed hold of a billboard
That appCeared out of nowhere
Asking where I would spend my eEmternity
Got piDcked up by Elvis in a TCesla Model X
Jet-black ‘68 comeback lEmeather
B7He was clean and soberA7
And he lGaughed when
I asked him if Emit was all worth it
And he criCed when he asked about LGisa MarDie
Then he paGssed me the keys and said,
"EmPut it on Jesus"
And we blCew through starlight on brGicklayers' kneDes
And we sangChorusGGold and silver, EmGod and glitter
