owl city - field notes lyrics

[intro]
we were heading on home deasil in me
down an old gravel road way out in the country
tuckered out after working the fields all+day
when all of a sudden off like a shot
that dog took off running barkin his head off
wherever he went he went like there was h+ll to pay

[verse 1]
so l!ckedy split i crashed through the fields
chasin after that hound and i was hot on his heels
when we both went over the edge of a deep ravine
as i crawlеd up the bank cold and soaked to the bonе
a glint caught my eye from the mud where it shown
something was buried there alongside the stream
now the middle of a field is a pretty odd place to find a trunk or chest or a crate
but buried under the earth i saw a corner exposed
no there wasn’t a map or a note or a key
it was clearly forgotten just waiting for me like i was supposed to find it there right under my nose
[verse 2]
it had laid there for years deep in the dirt
so i dug it out and wiped my hands on my shirt
i pried up the lid and excitedly peered inside
and what i saw was a sight to behold
cause that tattered old trunk was crammed full of gold
my eyes bugged out it was enough to make an old man cry
big golden bricks with a shimmery sheen
they were a staggering sight to a poor boy like me
and right then and there i knew what i had to do
so with a smile, i sold what little i had
i gave my pots and my pans to my mom and my dad
and then i bought that field cause it was my dream come true

[verse 3]
and then full of joy, i said goodbye to my shack
it wasn’t much of a home so i never looked back
and i never questioned the choice i happily made
i said “i need that field whatever it takes”
you might call it foolish but i call it faith
trusting in god so gladly you can hardly wait
and thats how i learned how a rich fella accounts
its treasure in heaven not under the ground
cause betting the farm is well worth the risk
to carefully keep such a beautiful gift thats yours forever
its a pretty good deal there’s a couple of things more precious than gold one is your heart and the others your soul
and you’ve got something you need that n0body can steal
[bridge]
its a fable you see and the moral is this “your heart’s with your treasure wherever it is”
and trust me when you dig the treasure will be revealed
and you never know what could be buried in the middle of a field

[instrumental outro]
