| Years ago I used to think
|
| That someday I could have you here beside me
|
| Waking to the morning sun
|
| So content cause you’re the one I hold
|
| But your dreams were filled
|
| With the fortunes that a rich man had to offer
|
| And not a simple country boy
|
| Who didn’t know your love was bought or sold
|
| And now you’ve got your neon lights
|
| And all your dreams of city life around you
|
| But in a crowd you’re still alone
|
| And the loneliness you left at home surrounds you
|
| I’m still the country boy who’ll always know the love
|
| And joy of where his fortunes are
|
| Right here with the gold that’s in the sun
|
| And the Diamonds in the stars
|
| As I walk the country roads
|
| I see your face on every rose and flower
|
| Do you ever think of me
|
| When you walk the lonely streets at night
|
| What would be the price I’d pay
|
| To hear you say you’d come back forever
|
| All I have to offer
|
| Is love and a simple country life
|
| And now you’ve got your neon lights
|
| And all your dreams of city life around you
|
| But in a crowd you’re still alone
|
| And the loneliness you left at home surrounds you
|
| I’m still the country boy who’ll always know the love
|
| And joy of where his fortunes are
|
| Right here with the gold that’s in the sun
|
| And the Diamonds in the stars
|
| Right here with the gold that’s in the sun
|
| And the Diamonds in the stars |
