It might cost you a little cash A little time, a tank of gas Drive right past your hometown Find that house you first fell in love in It might take you a couple weeks
To save for a trip down to the Keys With all your friends from way back when That´s a tab I don´t mind payin´
Some might say that money makes the world go ´round But they ain´t here with you and me right now
Underneath this burnin´ skyline Waiting for the day to turn to stars All the gold in California ain´t close to what I got in my arms Lord knows land and luck and pickup trucks And diamonds don´t come cheap Thank God love and sunsets are free
Just like an old tree I carved our names in this guitar
That we picked up at a pawnshop On a snowy day in Denver We slept out in a million stars What you got ain´t who you are It´s things like these that pay the most That´s all you got to give her
I don´t believe that money makes the world go ´round ´Cause you can´t buy the way I feel right now
Underneath this burnin´ skyline Waiting for the day to turn to stars All the gold in Dahlonega ain´t what I got in my arms Lord knows land and luck and pickup trucks And diamonds don´t come cheap Thank God love and sunsets are free
There´s a freedom in your eyes right now That makes up for everything I´ve lost Like every hero´s price they paid To be safe right here don´t worry Like the colors of Old Glory we won´t fade
Underneath this burnin´ skyline Waiting for the day to turn to stars All the gold in Dahlonega ain´t what I got in my arms Lord knows land and luck and pickup trucks And diamonds don´t come cheap Thank God for faith and family Thank God what they mean to me Thank God love and sunsets are free
