Married in a Gold Rush

Something's happening in the country

And the government's to blame

We got married in a gold rush

And the rush has never felt the same

Shared a moment in a cafe

Shared a kiss in pouring rain

We got married in a gold rush

And the sight of gold will always bring me pain

I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud

I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud

Boy, who's your baby?

Girl, if you don't know by now

There's two seats on the midnight train

The gold won't weigh us down

Hanging gardens turned to desert

All that loving turn into hate

We got married in a gold rush

And those wedding bells were ringing out our fate

I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud

I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud

Boy, who's your baby?

Girl, if you don't know by now

There's two seats on the midnight train

The gold won't weigh us down

The rush is on to somewhere else, we're running out of time

Everything was ours, now it's just an empty mine

Animals don't understand the words on the danger sign

For them, it's just some shade from the morning shine

I thought you might learn the language

I thought you might learn to sing

We were born before the gold rush

So why can't I remember anything?

I want to put things back together

I wanna give, don't wanna take

Time to disavow the gold rush

And the bitterness that's flourished in its wake

I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud

Please don't say it loud

I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud

Boy, who's your baby?

Girl, if you don't know by now

There's two seats on the midnight train

The gold won't weigh us down

I don't wanna hear the rumors, please don't say it loud

Please don't say it loud

I just wanna go out tonight and make my baby proud
