One Golden Rule

There's a heart in the middle of somewhere tonight

Screaming for reasons or just a way out

I put the shirt off my back on a wager that says

There's one every night from my old school yard days

I hear you say one golden rule

One golden rule



There's been times i've been stood in the wind and the rain

Freezing and busted and tricked out of luck

And i cursed my teachers for all of their reading

What we needed most can't be found in them books

One golden rule



Now they teach you to swim but they don't speak of the danger

Tell you the truth but they never say why

Put you on ice that is thin and tell you it's winter

Without one golden rule the truth is a lie

One golden rule
