"Dirt Turns To Gold"

[Intro:]
Daddy said they ain't making no more of it
I said that's fine with me 'cause I'm tired of working on it
As soon as I can I'm outta here I don't love it like you do
Son, I know just how you feel, I used to feel the same way too

Til I learned dirt turns to gold
You gotta be patient son it happens slow
It'll take some blood sweat and tears
More than a few hard-working years
I know it's hard to see that far down the road

[Hook:]
Oh, but dirt turns to gold

Well, I saved enough to move into that city
Where the lights shine bright at night and the girls are pretty
Aw, but some nights I can't sleep a wink for the sirens and the horns
And I miss crickets and whip-poor-wills and the peaceful sounds of home

Now I know dirt turns to gold
I washed it off but it stayed down in my soul
And there's this girl I met said she'd like to see
The place that means so much to me
She wants to feel that feeling that I know

[Chorus:]
Back where dirt turns to gold

So, I took her back home for a long weekend
She'd never seen nothin like County Road ten
I rolled all those windows down
And pointed out my old stomping grounds

After supper at mom and dad's
Swinging in the swing hand in hand
Watching the sun sinking out of sight
She said she could get used to this life

[Bridge:]
Out where dirt turns to gold

On a piece of heaven down some country road
There's space out here for us to breathe
To build a home and plant some seeds
Sit on a porch and watch our children grow

[Outro:]
That's where dirt turns to gold
Yeah, dirt turns to gold
