Gold

Intro

Midnight on the clock, the velvet door slides open (oh)

Allie laughs, Maddie sways, the jukebox knows their names

Tip of a heel, a laugh that flicks the smoke away

(yeah, yeah) oh-oh

Verse

They walk like they own the hour, coins and cigarette ash

Bartender pours the moon into a whiskey glass

Red curtains, satin chairs, a slow grin on the floor

Two friends with loose pockets, coming back for more

Allie hums a melody that sticks behind her teeth

Maddie taps the rhythm on a cigarette-stained seat

A corner where the music folds into the air

And somebody calls a cheer and nobody cares

Pre-chorus

A small man with a hat, like a secret in plain sight

He holds a crooked coin that catches polish light (uh-huh)

He slides through the crowd like he’s part of the song

Says, "Girls, you look like trouble, and I like trouble long"

Chorus

Gold, gold, gold — pour it out, let it fall (gold)

Gold, gold, gold — laughing down the hall (gold)

Give me that shine, give me that grin, give me that little hand of luck (oh)

Gold, gold, gold — Allie, Maddie, pick it up (yeah)

Gold, gold, gold — pockets heavy with the night (gold)

Gold, gold, gold — soft coins in neon light (oh-oh)

He says, "This is for you, but don’t spend it all at once" (don’t spend it)

Gold, gold, gold — Allie, Maddie, pick it up

Verse

He speaks like a bell, like a wheel that keeps on spinning

Tells them stories of roads where a single shoe keeps winning

He pulls a satin pouch from under his weathered coat

Sprinkles clinks like laughter, like a code they both can quote

Allie stuffs a fistful, Maddie counts a living spring

They trade a private toast: to trouble, to everything

A wink, a shuffle, a fiddle of his ring

Then he’s humming down the hall like a rumor taking wing (heyi ya)

Bridge

"Keep one coin for trouble, hide one coin for song," he says (hide it)

"Spend one coin on dancing, spend one coin on less regret" (spend it)

He taps their palms and leaves a spark beneath their skin (oh)

A small man with a crooked map and a grin that pulls them in (pulls them in)

(ta-ta-touch, ta-ta-touch) oh-oh

Chorus

Gold, gold, gold — pour it out, let it fall (gold)

Gold, gold, gold — laughing down the hall (gold)

Give me that shine, give me that grin, give me that little hand of luck (oh)

Gold, gold, gold — Allie, Maddie, pick it up (yeah)

Gold, gold, gold — pockets heavy with the night (gold)

Gold, gold, gold — soft coins in the light (oh-oh)

He says, "This is for you, but don’t spend it all at once" (don’t spend it)

Gold, gold, gold — Allie, Maddie, pick it up
