Heart Of A Miner Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Well, it's harvest time out on this Amarillo highway 

Daydreamin' the South of France 

I could whistle you out waltzin' there 

Would you still say you can't? 

Heart of a miner here takin' her last chance 

Heart of a miner, kept her feelings buried deep 

Heart of a miner, could there be something she needs? 

Just a treasure that could hold her 

That's not fool's gold 

What could the miner do when 

Her heart was made of crystal? 

She used to keep it on the shelf 

Now she dreams of you high up in your mountains 

It was that treasure that you held 

Look at this lonely miner here who finally fell 

Heart of a miner, kept her feelings buried deep 

Heart of a miner, could there 

Be something she needs? 

Just a treasure that could hold her 

That's not fool's gold
