David Luning - Be Like Gold Lyrics
I woke up to the setting sunNothin to show for what I had doneI became, so adrift and estrangedFrom what I once was 'fore I lost my wayI ached for the place where my love residesAcross the mountains across the river wideAs I gazed at that jagged lineA heavy burden, weighin on my mindAnd I remember my father sayinHe said son, be a working manDo the best you canAnd you'll be like goldAnd love with an honest heartAlways do your part, and you'll be like goldLive with pride cause you triedSo I rode through those forlorn fieldsAnd made my way back on some rusted wheelsBack to where my true love residesAcross the mountains, across the river wideThere stood the house alone on the hillThe paint was weathered now, it was dark and stillA fool I was, to be gone so longFor I knew now, my love was goneHe said son, be a working manDo the best you canAnd you'll be like goldAnd love with an honest heartAlways do your part, and you'll be like goldLive with pride cause you tried
