Some people just fly over small towns just like this The middle of some nowhere, to them that´s all it is
From up there lookin´ down but they don´t know we found Country gold
See, this is where my grandad got down on one knee Promised her forever with a dime store diamond ring He pledged his heart and soul fifty years ago With country gold, oh-oh
It´s a little house on a little land A little built it with your own two hands Little pride in a hard week´s work Little supper after Sunday church To most it might not look like much
But I put roots down here because The richest people that I´ve ever known Struck country gold
Guess the slower that you´re livin´ the less you tend to miss ´Cause when you find what happy isn´t, you find what happy is Doing life with who you love Hearing laughter filling up
A little house on a little land A little built it with your own two hands Little pride in a hard week´s work Little supper after Sunday church To most it might not look like much
But I put roots down here because The richest people that I´ve ever known
Struck country gold like the wheat fields underneath a summer sky Country gold like the records playing on a Friday night Country gold might look like nothing more than dirt and gravel roads But if you know Then you know
It´s a little house on a little land Little built it with your own two hands Little pride in a hard week´s work Little supper after Sunday church (Little supper after Sunday church)
To most it might not look like much But I put roots down here because (Roots down here because) The richest people that I´ve ever known Are made of work and dirt and flesh and blood and soul Country gold Country gold Country gold
