It ain't easy

Nobody said it would be

You finally find that greener grass

But you're still in the weeds

Ain't it crazy

All the time that you spend

Drivin' through the rainbow for the pot at the end.

I got some rust on my chevy but it's ready to roll

I got a rhinestone sky and a song in my soul

It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road

Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold.

I've been climbing

Trying to get to the view

I'm at the bottom but the sky's still pretty damn blue

They say heaven

Is somewhere on the other side

But I ain't waitin'

Hell, I'm thinkin', it's a state of mind.

I got some rust on my chevy but it's ready to roll

I got a rhinestone sky and a song in my soul

It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road

Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold.

Yeah, it feels like gold

Yeah, it feels like gold.

Got my baby sittin' by me

Shinin' like a diamond

Only silver linings in the clouds

And if it starts to rain

I don't worry 'bout a thing

I pull my rose colored ray-bans out.

I got some rust on my chevy but it's ready to roll

I got a rhinestone sky and a song in my soul

It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road

Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold.

Yeah, it feels like gold (yeah, it does)

Yeah, it feels like gold.

It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road

Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold.
