| Well nothing new has passed this way in a long time
|
| And maybe nothing’s ever gonna come
|
| And nothing seems to grow outside my window
|
| I think I’d better go and get me some
|
| Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
|
| That’s making people nervous
|
| You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
|
| Start praying God preserve us
|
| I can’t believe how long I’ve stayed
|
| 2 more days till I get paid
|
| And I’ll find that small town boy I’m dating
|
| Tell him I’m done patiently waiting
|
| Hey, yeah
|
| Patiently waiting
|
| Well I’ve had fun just holding hands at the movie show
|
| And I’ve had good times tearing up the town
|
| But I’ve spent cold nights waiting
|
| Out front of the movie show
|
| Thinking that half the hands that held me, held me down
|
| Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
|
| That’s making people nervous
|
| You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
|
| Start praying God preserve us
|
| I can’t believe how long I’ve stayed
|
| 2 more days till I get paid
|
| And I’ll find that small town boy I’m dating
|
| Tell him I’m done patiently waiting
|
| Now some folks never get their share of the sweet life
|
| And some just come around a little late
|
| Oh, I got this feeling sitting at a stop light
|
| Seems like good things only come to those who
|
| Hit the road when they know what they want
|
| I want to get some of the gold in the hills
|
| That’s making people nervous
|
| You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
|
| Start praying God preserve us
|
| I can’t believe how long I’ve stayed
|
| 2 more days till I get paid
|
| And I’ll find that small town boy I’m dating
|
| Tell him I’m done patiently waiting
|
| I’m done patiently waiting
|
| Hey yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
|
| Yeah…
|
| Oooh
|
| Hey, hey, hey |
