Dirt Turns to Gold

Daddy said they aint makin no more of it

I said thats fine with me cause Im tired of workin on it

As soon as I can Im outta here I dont love it like you do

Well son I know just how you feel I used to feel the same way too

Till I learned

Dirt turns to gold

You gotta be patient son it happens slow

Itll take some blood sweat and tears

More than a few hard workin years

I know its hard to see that far down the road

Aw 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 cant sleep a wink for the sirens and the horns

And I miss crickets and whippoorwills 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 theres this girl I met says shed like to see

The place that means so much to me

She wants to feel that feelin that I know

Back where dirt turns to gold

So I took her back home for a long weekend

Shed never seen nothin like County Road Ten

I rolled all those windows down

And pointed out my ol stompin grounds

After supper at Mom and Dads

Swingin in the swing hand in hand

Watchin the sun sinkin out of sight

She said I could get used to this life out where

Dirt turns to gold

On a piece of heaven down some country road

Theres space out here for us to breathe

To build a home and plant some seeds

Sit on the porch and watch our children grow

Thats where dirt turns to gold

Yeah dirt turns to gold
