Zach Top - Dirt Turns to Gold Lyrics

Daddy said they ain't making no more of it
Said that's fine with me cause I'm tired of working on it
Soon as I can I'm outta here, I don't love it like you do
Son I know just how you feel, I used to feel the same way too

Till I learnt dirt turns to gold
You gotta be patient son it happens slow
It'll take some blood, sweat and tears
More than a few hard working years
I know it's hard to see that far down the road
Oh but dirt turns to gold

Will I save enough to move into that city
Where the lights shine bright at night and the girls are pretty
Aw but some nights I can't sleep a wink, all the sirens and the horns
And I miss crickets, whippoorwills and the peaceful sounds of home

I know dirt turns to gold
I washed it off but it stayed down in my soul
And there's this girl I met said she'd like to see
The place that means so much to me
She wants to feel that feeling that I know
Back where dirt turns to gold

So I took her back home for a long weekend
She'd never seen nothing like county road ten
I rolled all those windows down
And pointed out my old stomping grounds
And after supper at mom and dad's
Swinging in the swing, hand in hand
Watching the Sun sinking out of sight
She said I could get used to this light

Out where dirt turns to gold
Aw a piece of heaven down some country road
There's space out here for rust to breathe
Build a home and plant some seeds
Sit on the porch and watch our children grow
That's where dirt turns to gold

Yeah, dirt turns to gold
