The Great Gold Rush

from Better Years EP by Old Towns

/

lyrics

Burning out cigarette ash; check your pockets for cash and stretch that dollar, it's gotta last until these hard times have passed. I set out on a mission filled with hope and blind ambition, though my heart was aching to reach my destination. I was searching for wealth, sacrificed happiness and health. I was told there was gold in these hills but all I found were cheap thrills. I need to get back to the country, back to where life had meaning. I was traveling with my hand on my heart, but like the bible it was torn apart. Another long night on the road, please someone take me home. I was searching for wealth, sacrificed happiness and health
