Shooter Jennings - Solid Country Gold lyrics

rate me

I been sinkin' like a rock in this high society ‘Cause all that means so much to them, don't mean shit to me If I were into money, fame and power, I'd be sold But I know I tried , and I just can't find that solid country gold Now I was born in Nashville but I left there long ago ‘Cause they built Music City by sacrificing soul L.A. ain't much different, ‘cept they got them fancy clothes And there's nary a sight or a leaving light of solid country gold Chorus: They say country music ain't quite all it used to be But they can't see the country for all the goddamned trees If you give to me a guitar ans my woman on the road I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold Now baby, I been thinkin' ‘bout where you and I should go You sell your apartment, and I'll shake off my load We'll take it down to Texas where we'll kiss that Yellow Rose And find ourselves some lovin' in solid country gold Repeat chorus twice Yes, I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold
