As I'm walking behind this plow
I keep turning over memories
Buried treasures of the past once filled with you
This old ground I know it's mine
Cause I've worked it so many times
And the rain it's been prayed for is fallin' from my eyes
Waiting for the setting sun
When a hard day's work was done
We'd sit down, rocked the baby and planned our dreams
But you turned it all around
With this other man you found
And you never thought I'd figure out your schemes
Now there's buried treasure hidden in the ground
Precious memories of the love that lived and died
You couldn't be a simple wife
You had to lead a cheatin' life
And you lead me down a road I hated to ride
But I did
Now the neighbors they all knew
They had seen him leave with you
But what they didn't see was I followed close behind
And the next day's papers read
That a man had been found dead
And the lady he'd been seen with they couldn't find
And there's buried treasure hidden in the ground
Precious memories of a love that lived and died
You couldn't be a simple wife
You had to lead a cheatin' life
And you lead me down a road I hated to ride
But I did
