Lyrics

Silver
(Tani)


There’s a man
who wants to take my place
He’s got his eyes on the prize
Spending money —tellin’ lies
And he’s headed for my baby’s arms

But so am I
and it’s turned into a race
Now I’m screamin’ down this freeway
And it ain’t gonna be no three way
But it may be three alarms

Chorus
Hiyo —Hiyo Silver
Take me to my sweet baby’s arms
Let’s hope that old rusty chain
Can take a little strain
Hiyo Silver away

10 minutes left
before they close this diamond lane
But I’ve got 12 miles to go
And the traffic’s getting slow
And I don’t have the 3 dollar toll

Brake lights ahead
Aw, it’s stopped up to the bridge
These lanes I’ll be splittin’
Side view mirrors I’ll be hittin’
While I’m watchin’ for the Highway Patrol

Chorus
