When I was young the trouble got me down
Thought I was to be the richest man in town
And I tried so hard to believe
in something I never learnt
And on my way to find the answers
I guess I got what I deserved
Every night I slept under the stars
Once I saw a preacher wearing stripes and evil scars
He said ‘Son, what you’re dreaming of
is evershining gold
right outside Sawyer Town
at the end of rainbow road’
So I left my home in the middle of the night
Saw my mother’s words written in the sky
‘You be careful with that gold
It doesn’t often make things right
Oh you may become a rich man
but you can’t buy no pride’
But I was so blind and I took what I could get
Didn’t think about the anxious words she said
I filled my pockets up too heavy
I couldn’t walk the line
And I tumbled down down down
in that old and dusty mine
Now I don’t know how long I’ve lingered there
Prayed to the Lord above but he didn’t hear my prair
And when finally I realized that this would be the end
A woman came to save me and I took her by the hand
Now we got married I got to be her prince
But I have thought about them dark days ever since
When the godforsaken hunger was tearing me apart
While all I ever wanted was a woman’s golden heart
