You Got Gold - John Prine

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
