We never meant to stay here We were here for the gold
We got stuck here for the winter Blinded by golden dollar signs We built some simple structures Temporary, not permanent But each year we dug much deeper And each year things got more serious Each year our hearts grew weaker Blinded by golden dollar signs
We never meant to stay here We were here for the gold
Put a lump of coal in my hand Squeeze just as tight as I can Hope for a brand new diamond I know it's slight but it's all I can I promise honey that when we get paid We'll pack our things and we'll move away A thousand miles from this frozen lake We'll find a place where we both can stay
We'll find a city with a million people Find an apartment where the rent is real low We'll disappear and no one will notice How about it Darling? We could both live downtown
We never meant to stay here We were here for the gold We never meant to stay here But we're just dumb animals with our paws in the hole, grasping gold
Now we're stuck in a small town Out on the shield But it lost its appeal long ago We wake up at dawn and kiss our wives on the forehead And we slowly make our way into the caves Where we will forget the faces of our children and our small regrets Like, I should have kept that lucky penny while I had the chanceTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
