Staring out the window at the cold and snow
On the mountains and the trees and the old dirt road
Wonder how it came after summer up and gone
I wonder how I stayed to sing along this song

Is it in the air? is it in the ground?
Is it in our own or in the earth’s veins and bones
We find this treasure to help us feeling better
But if we take it all she can’t give all-out forever

Gold in the ground, gold not found
Gold in the ground, gold not found

My blood does good, when it stays inside me
I cook and I clean, I kiss and hug yee
Gold does too, my eyes just can’t see
The embrace of this place when I’m down on my knees

Gold in the ground, gold not found
Gold in the ground, gold not found

Break Verse

Butt old steel blue and the black top too
Makes it harder and harder for the soul to get through
But it’s some compelling, right underneath you
Beneath iron, and concrete and the cold hard truth

Gold in the ground, gold not found
Gold in the ground, gold not found
Gold in the ground, gold not found
3(7) 6m 5 1
