Black Crowes There`s Gold In Them Hills Lyrics

There`s Gold In Them Hills Lyrics

On the first day of winter I was set to leave

With the lost awe of true love in my eye

The wild frontier outlaws and thieves

To find me a mountain in the sky



There's gold in them hills I heard the man cry

There's gold in them hills for the taking

It's a one-way ticket down a river of lies

There's gold in them hills if you make it



On the last day of spring I first saw the sea

A poor boy with good luck on my side

Ready for riches, I rolled up my sleeve

And took my first step down my life



Had my wallet, same old pocket

Sixteen dollars, brand new shoes

Empty bottles, sad turned daughters

What's a country boy to do



Tell dear mother that I miss her

But things are different now there's nothing I can do

Your dark haired son is now long gone

Remember me when you stare at the moon



Broken my heart, diamonds and gold

Through scandal, through madness, through cold

All I have left is this gray in my beard

This mountain and the stories that I've told



There's gold in them hills I heard the man cry

There's gold in them hills for the taking

It's a one-way ticket down a river of lies

There's gold in them hills if you make it



There's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills

There's gold in them hills if you make it
