Golden Ground 2 (версия 2)

Verse

Sun's going down across the field of gold

Your boots kicked up dust that I'd rather hold

You smile like the sunset over the barbed wire fence

And my heart is chasing after you like a wild thing with no sense

Porch swing creaking where we used to sit

You said maybe someday I'd be your husband, not just the kid down the street

Now I'm driving through this golden light

Trying to catch up before it turns to night

Pre-Chorus

Tell me if you feel it too

This whole town's burning gold like a fire we can't do without

Chorus

We're standing on the edge of our own golden ground

Every sunset looks more beautiful than the last, turning round

I don't wanna be just another country road

I want to leave my mark in this sun-soaked glow

Verse

You said you needed time to figure out who you are

But I already know that it's a boy with a guitar and a broken heart

Now I'm driving past the one room schoolhouse door

Wishing that we were walking out together, not alone anymore

Dad says the sun sets slower every year because he's growing older

Mama says it's just an excuse for him to stop working

But I know the truth, and it don't have nothing to do with time

It's you stepping out of your shadow like a long-awaited rhyme

Pre-Chorus

Tell me if you feel it too

This whole town's burning gold like a fire we can't do without

Chorus

We're standing on the edge of our own golden ground

Every sunset looks more beautiful than the last, turning round

I don't wanna be just another country road

I want to leave my mark in this sun-soaked glow

Bridge

Some folks say we won't make it out of these hills

But I know that's just their fear talking through the stills

This sunset's painting the whole sky red

And I'm not gonna let a few shadows in my head run ahead

Chorus

We're standing on the edge of our own golden ground

Every sunset looks more beautiful than the last, turning round

I don't wanna be just another country road

I want to leave my mark in this sun-soaked glow
