Painted Gold Lyrics by Human Girl

Human Girl’s Greatest Hits

2021

[Verse 1]
[This is an original Human Girl track]
You broke me in
Leather skin
I missed your face
So I changed my name
To sound like yours and everything
He's greedy, greedy minin' graves for ore
But searchin' for the wrong things only left him twice as poor
'Cause he washed it off and cursed
"It's Painted Gold!"
And she read the note that he left on her drawer
[Chorus]
"My heart ain't small enough to give you up
It's plenty big enough for us
This town is only big enough for one of us"
[Refrain]
You said I'm a lasso ‘round your heart
My arms are rope
I tie you down
Scarеd to let you run away
But I guess that's how a cowgirl got her namе
[Verse 2]
You made the heel fit
But you can't run in it
[You can try]
You trade your things
For shiny rings
That are just too big
She's only looked in dirty mirrors all her life
So she sees happy ever after
Their names are written in the skies
But she washed it off and cursed
"It's Painted Gold!"
Too good to be true love, if it was sold
[Chorus]
"My heart ain't small enough to give you up
It's plenty big enough for us
This town is only big enough for one of us"
[Refrain]
You said I'm the best you've ever met
I'm a fire and you're a house
If you have met me, which you haven't yet
I'd have burned you down to the ground
[Outro]
"My heart ain't small enough to give you up
It's plenty big enough for us
This town is only big enough for one of us"
