Theres Gold In Them Lyrics

song lyrics There s Gold In Them Hills lyrics On the first day of winter I was set to leave With the lost awe of true love in my eye The wild frontier outlaws and thieves To find me a mountain in the sky There s gold in them hills I heard the man cry There s gold in them hills For the taking It s a one-way ticket down a river of lies There s gold in them hills If you make it On the last day of spring I first saw the sea A poor boy with good luck on my side Ready for riches I rolled up my sleeve And took my first step down my life Had my wallet same old pocket Sixteen dollars brand new shoes Empty bottles sad turned daughters What s a country boy to do Tell dear mother that I miss her But things are different now There s nothing I can do Your dark haired son is now long gone Remember me When you stare at the moon I ve broken my heart Diamonds and gold Through scandal through madness through cold All I have left is this grey in my beard This mountain and the stories that I ve told There s gold in them hills I heard the man cry There s gold in them hills For the taking It s a one-way ticket down a river of lies There s gold in them hills If you make it song lyrics
