Some people just fly over

Small towns just like this

The middle of some nowhere

To them that's all it is

From up there lookin' down

But they don't know we found

Country gold.

See this is where my grandad

Got down on one knee

Promised her forever

With a dime store diamond ring

He pledged his heart and soul

50 years ago

With country gold.

It's a little house on a little land

A little built it with your own two hands

Little pride in a hard week's work

Little supper after sunday church

To most it might not look like much

But I put roots down here because

The richest people that I've ever known

Struck country gold.

Guess the slower that you're livin'

The less you tend to miss

'cause when you find what happy isn't

You find what happy is

Doing life with who you love

Hearing laughter filling up.

It's a little house on a little land

A little built it with your own two hands

Little pride in a hard week's work

Little supper after sunday church

To most it might not look like much

But I put roots down here because

The richest people that I've ever known

Struck country gold.

Like the wheat fields underneath a summer sky

Country gold, like the records playing on a friday night

Country gold might look like nothing more than dirt and gravel roads

But if you know

Then you know.

It's a little house on a little land

A little built it with your own two hands

Little pride in a hard week's work

Little supper after sunday church

To most it might not look like much

But I put roots down here because

The richest people that I've ever known

Are made of work and dirt and flesh and blood and soul

Country gold

Country gold

Country gold.
