Gold To Me

I HADN’T SEEN HIM IN TWENTY YEARS
HE LEFT THE SMALL TOWN DIRT FOR A MOUNTAIN OF FEARS
BUT HE THINKS HE’S FREE HE’S DOING BETTER THAN ME
HE’S GOT A PENTHOUSE SUITE AND A BIG OL’ CAR
2 DOZEN GIRLS IN HIS CELLULAR
NOW THEY DON’T COME FREE
HE’S DOING BETTER THAN ME
HE LOOKED AT ME WITH A KNOWING SMILE
AND SAIDI’M SORRY MAN
YOU NEVER WENT THAT EXTRA MILE
NOW TELL ME WHO’S THIS GIRL
WHO STOLE YOUR EVERY DREAM
 
SO I TOLD HIM
 
CHORUS 1
SHE’S A WARM SUMMER BREEZE ON A MOON FILLED NIGHT
SHE’S A CANDLELIT DINNER YES SOMETIMES WE FIGHT
SHE’S A SAINT & A SINNER A BIT OF AFTERNOON DELIGHT FOR ME
SHE’S A BLONDE, A BRUNETTE IF I WANT HER TO BE
SHE’S THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD THE REASON THAT I’M FREE
ANYONE CAN SEE SHE’S LIKE GOLD TO ME
 
 
JUST LAST WEEK WE HEADED OUT FOR THE COAST
 IN A BEAT UP TRUCK ON A PRAYER AND A HOPE
WHERE THE WIND BLOWS FREE THAT’S WHAT MATTERS TO ME
WHEN WE BROKE DOWN JUST OUT OF TENNESSEE
SHE DANCED IN THE RAIN SAID LET IT POUR ON ME
THAT MEMORY IT’S LIKE GOLD TO ME
I LOOKED AT HER WITH A KNOWING SMILE SAYING
THIS OLD TRUCK DON’T NEED TO GO ANOTHER MILE
WHAT I GOT HERE IS ALL THAT I COULD EVER NEED
 
 
CHORUS 2
JUST A WARM SUMMER BREEZE ON A MOON FILLED NIGHT
WITH THE WOMAN I LOVE SAYING IT’S ALL RIGHT
SHE’S A SAINT & A SINNER A BIT OF AFTERNOON DELIGHT FOR ME
SHE’S A BLONDE, A BRUNETTE IF I WANT HER TO BE
SHE’S THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD
THE REASON THAT I’M FREE
ANYONE CAN SEE SHE’S LIKE GOLD TO ME
 
 
OUR FIRST BORN SON HE LOOKS A LOT LIKE ME
WITH HIS MOTHERS SMILE SO LET ME THINK A WHILE
 
 
CHORUS 3
GIVE ME A WARM SUMMER BREEZE ON A MOON FILLED NIGHT
WITH THE WOMAN JUST TO HOLD HER TIGHT
SHE’S A SAINT & A SINNER A BIT OF AFTERNOON DELIGHT FOR ME
SHE’S A BLONDE, A BRUNETTE IF I WANT HER TO BE
SHE’S THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD
THE REASON THAT I’M FREE
ANYONE CAN SEE SHE’S LIKE GOLD TO ME
