You Got Gold Lyrics by John Prine

You Got Gold Lyrics

    Is there ever enough space between us
    To keep us both honest and true?
    Why is it so hard just to sit in the yard
    And stare at the sky so blue?
    I've got a new way of walking and a new way of talking
    Honey when i'm around you,
    But it gives me the blues when i've got some good news
    And you're not there to bring it to.

    Life is a blessing, it's a delicatessen
    Of all the little favors you do.
    All wrapped up together no matter the weather,
    Baby you always come through.
    It's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure
    Of loving you the way i do
    And you know i would gladly say i need your love badly
    And bring these little things to you.

    Cause you got gold
    Gold inside of you
    You got gold
    Gold inside of you
    Well i got some
    Gold inside me too

    Well i'm thinking i'm knowing that i gotta be going
    You know i hate to say so long.
    It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotion
    I'll have to work it out in a song.
    Well i'm leaving a lot for the little i got
    But you know a lot a little will do
    And if you give me your love
    I'll let it shine up above
    And light my way back home to you.

    Cause you got gold
    Gold inside of you
    Cause you got gold
    Gold inside of you
    Well i got some
    Gold inside me too

    You got wheels
    Turning inside of you
    You got wheels
    Turning inside of you
    Well i got wheels
    Turning inside me too
