Silver
T-Power Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna steal a silver stallion
With not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach him he can trust me like a sister
One day we'll saddle up and ride

[Chorus]
And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride

Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...

I'm gonna find me a reckless man
Razor blades and ice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers
Thunder and lightning in his thighs

[Chorus]

I'm gonna chase the sky forever
With the man, the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder
Before we ever pass this way again

[Chorus]
