Buried Treasures

As I'm walkin' behind this plow

I keep turnin' over memories

Buried treasure of a past once filled with you

This old ground I know it's mine

And I've worked it so many times

And the rain it's been praying for

Is falling from my eyes

Waiting for the settin' sun

When a hard day's work is done

We'd sit down and rock the baby

And plan our dreams

But you turned it all around

With this other man you found

And you never thought I'd figure out your scheme

And there's buried treasure

Hidden in the ground

Precious memories of a love

That lived and died

You couldn't be the simple wife

You had to lead the cheatin' life

And you led me down a road I hate to ride

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 paper read

That a man had been found dead

And the lady he'd been seen with

That can't find

And there's buried treasure

Hidden in the ground

Precious memories of a love

That lived and died

You couldn't be the simple wife

You had to lead the cheatin' life

And you led me down a road I hate to ride

As I'm walkin' behind this plow

I keep turning over memories

Buried treasure of a past once filled with you

This old ground I know it's mine

And I've worked it so many times

And the rain it's been praying for

Is falling from my eyes
