Gold Rush Lyrics by Why Bonnie

Nightgown

2018

After the gold rush, will you come back to this town?
I can sit you down, it’s a lonesome life for such a busy heart like mine
I work my hands like they're getting paid
But I can smile at all the things I’ve made

Maybe they took the shine out of the city you think is so pretty
Still you strip the sand like it owes you apologies
Apologies

Still, I work my bones like they owe me money
I laugh alone 'cause the jokes are still funny
This television gives me a reason to stay awake at night
And I roll around in my hand-me-down nightgown 'til I get it right

Maybe they took the shine out of the city you think is so pretty
Still you strip the sand like it owes you apologies
Apologies

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah oh-oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah oh-oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh ohhhhhhhh
