Couplet 1

Some people just fly over
Small towns just like this
The middle of some nowhere
To them that’s all it is
From up there lookin’ down
But they don’t know we found
Country gold

Couplet 2

See this is where my grandad
Got down on one knee
Promised her forever
With a dime store diamond ring
He pledged his heart and soul
Fifty years ago with country gold

Refrain

It’s a little house on a little land
A little built it
With your own two hands
Little pride in a hard week’s work
Little supper after Sunday church
To most it might not look like much
But I put roots down here because
The richest people that I’ve ever known
Struck country gold

Couplet 3

Guess the slower that you’re livin’
The less you tend to miss
‘Cause when you find what happy isn’t
You find what happy is
Doing life with who you love
Hearing laughter filling up

Refrain

A little house on a little land
A little built it
With your own two hands
Little pride in a hard week’s work
Little supper after Sunday church
To most it might not look like much
But I put roots down here because
The richest people that I’ve ever known
Struck country gold

Pont

Like the wheat fields
Underneath a summer sky
Country gold
Like the records
Playing on a Friday night
Country gold might look
Like nothing more
Than dirt and gravel roads
But if you know
Then you know

Refrain

It’s a little house on a little land
A little built it
With your own two hands
Little pride in a hard week’s work
Little supper after Sunday church
To most it might not look like much
But I put roots down here because
The richest people that I’ve ever known
Are made of work and dirt
And flesh and blood and soul
Country gold

Refrain modifié

Country gold
Country gold
