the brothers gillespie - the price of gold lyrics

Loading...

by the time they overthrow in el dorado
i hope i’ve bought a wedding ring
’cause the price of gold could be higher than ever
and one day i know i’ll have to sew these seams

if you ever do come down from colorado
and there’s still a memory of me in your mind
and if you took that jewelry off your finger
i’d like to buy some of your time
i’d like to buy some of your time

every bridge i’ve crossed from here to california
has either tumbled or it’s torn
and the wildfires are growing ever stronger
they came from all the women that i’ve scorned

i’m too scared to settle down in ol’ seattle
i’ll take the rain at home instead
all my loves have left for greener pastures
now i have nowhere left to hang my head
i have nowhere left to hang my head
i have nowhere left to hang my head

ran to hide in green bank, west virginia
got lost outside of roanoke
met a green eyed girl with a skinny frame
short dark hair and a shorter name
at a firework stand
she was a singer in a country band

she didn’t have a hand with a diamond ring
but her eyes said, “you’ll make a wife of me”
so we took off to the blue ridge hills
with a bottle of bourbon and a couple pills
and we didn’t come back
’til my mouth had a little slack

we stopped by a bridge to say “hi” to helen
the devil said, “where the h-ll’d you find this one?
you’re better off messing with a feral cat
boy, you better not to take her to mom and dad”
and all the spirits cracked
yeah, they all had a good laugh

she tied me to the bed in cherokee
and left the door wide open for the maid
then she took off with the wedding rings
the bottle of pills and my dignity
but the joke’s on her
’cause the maid was a flirt
