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
