Miley Cyrus – Golden G String (Backyard Sessions) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke up in Montecito
I was thinking about my life
And the questions made more questions
Staring out into the night
Yes, I’ve worn the Golden G String
Put my hand into hellfire
I did it all to make you love me
And to feel alive

[Chorus]
Oh, that’s just the world that we’re living in
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain’t playing gin
You dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
I should walk away
Oh, I should walk away
But I think I’ll stay

[Verse 2]
There are layers to this body
Primal sex and primal shame
They told me I should cover it
So I went the other way
I was trying to own my power
Still I’m trying to work it out
And at least it gives the paper something
They can write about

[Chorus]
And oh, that’s just the world that we’re living in
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain’t playing gin
And you dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
I should walk away
Oh, I should walk away
But I think I’ll stay

[Bridge]
So the mad man is in the picture
And it’s hard to unvolve
He said “If you can’t make ends meet, honey, it must be your fault”
We all focus on the winners
And get blinded by their shine
Maybe caring for each other is just too 1969

[Chorus]
But oh, that’s just the world that we’re living in
The old boys hold all the cards and they ain’t playing gin
And you dare to call me crazy, have you looked around this place?
I should walk away, oh, I should walk away
But I think I’ll stay

[Outro]
But I think I’ll stay
Too much, you say
But I think I’ll stay
I can’t walk away
I think I’ll stay
Yeah, I think I’ll stay
