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
[Bridge]
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
[Mandolin solo]
(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.
