Gold Country

(Verse 1)

My boots are scuffed, my jeans are faded blue

This old guitar's seen a pick or two

Ain't got no mansion, no fancy car

Just you and me 'neath a wishing star

(Chorus)

They talk about that gold country, where fortunes gleam

Diamond rings and every kind of dream

But darlin', with you, I'm already rich and free

Don't need no gold, you're gold country to me

(Verse 2)

Some folks chase the spotlight, the roar of the crowd

Their names in bright lights, shoutin' out loud

But I'm content with crickets and the whippoorwill's call

Your hand in mine, honey, that's got it all

(Chorus)

They talk about that gold country, where fortunes gleam

Diamond rings and every kind of dream

But darlin', with you, I'm already rich and free

Don't need no gold, you're gold country to me

Let the cameras flash and the headlines roll

They can have their fast lane, losin' all control

'Cause true wealth ain't measured in a dollar sign

It's in your eyes, darlin', and the love that's mine

(Chorus)

They talk about that gold country, where fortunes gleam

Diamond rings and every kind of dream

But darlin', with you, I'm already rich and free

Don't need no gold, you're gold country to me

(Outro)

Yeah, you're my gold country, shining bright and true

And all the riches in the world can't compare to you.

Just you and me, darlin', that's all I'll ever need.

My sweet gold country, indeed.
