lyrics

Goldmine

Been around this country it’s big and it’s old
Stories of people burn to be told
Picture the places there for the brush
Swag full of songs flow with a rush

For the singer and the song there’s a dusty old road
Rolling the dice winning the gold
But the man who’s a digger’s gonna make it to fame
If the wind doesn’t win and blow out his claim

Chorus

It’s a goldmine it’s a goldmine
Picture the paintings songs to be sung
Stories all waiting for their day in the sun

It’s fine to be one of natures gentleman
But you get knocked down again and again
It’s not so easy to come up with a gem
Been painting pictures since I can’t remember when

Chorus

It’s not exactly a bag full of fun
Pushing a pen the green side of a gun
There’s no dividend from a hackneyed pun
I’ve made more money from the songs that I’ve sung

Chorus

Been around this country it’s big and it’s old
Many a story is there to be told
Many a picture is there for the brush
Many a song has gone with the rush
It’s a goldmine, it’s a goldmine….
