I know it's hard
But it's only temporary
Sun coming up
Gotta rise every day you know
Still dreaming of
A little house out on the prairie
Still isn't ours
We're a long long way from home

But if I am gonna see it
Then I better believe it
Cause that's the only thing I know
Like a lock without a key
I will never be complete
Am I ever gonna find that gold?

Got it right in front of me
Why am I diggin down so deep?
It's been right in front of me
Why am I diggin down?
I'm no fool

I'm gonna find that gold
I better find that gold

You were born
With a fire in your belly
And you were gone
When you were old enough to leave
Gotta find
You a life less ordinary
Out in the mines
There's a fortune yours to keep

But if I am gonna see it
Then I better believe it
Cause that's the only thing I know
Just a silent melody
And I'll never be complete
Am I ever gonna find that gold?

Got it right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down so deep?
It's been right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down?
I'm no fool

I'm gonna find that gold
I better find that gold

It's getting dark
And we can't control the laughing
Give me a hug
And I'll sing you off to sleep
I never thought
It was something everlasting
Or forgot
How to keep you close to me

Got it right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down so deep?
It's been right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down? I...

Got it right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down so deep?
It's been right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down? I...

Got it right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down so deep?
It's been right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down?
I'm no fool

Got it right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down so deep?
It's been right in front of me
Why am I diggin' down?
I'm no fool
I'm no fool
I'm no fool

I'm gonna find that gold
I better find that gold
