Be Like Gold Lyrics - David Luning

I woke up to the setting sun 

Nothin to show for what I had done 

I became, so adrift and estranged 

From what I once was 'fore I lost my way 

I ached for the place where my love resides 

Across the mountains across the river wide 

As I gazed at that jagged line 

A heavy burden, weighin on my mind 

And I remember my father sayin 

He said son, be a working man 

Do the best you can 

And you'll be like gold 

And love with an honest heart 

Always do your part, and you'll be like gold 

Live with pride cause you tried 

So I rode through those forlorn fields 

And made my way back on some rusted wheels 

Back to where my true love resides 

Across the mountains, across the river wide 

There stood the house alone on the hill 

The paint was weathered now, it was dark and still 

A fool I was, to be gone so long 

For I knew now, my love was gone 

He said son, be a working man 

Do the best you canAnd you'll be like gold 

And love with an honest heart 

Always do your part, and you'll be like gold 

Live with pride cause you tried
