Rare as Gold

I came back from California

By way of Arizona

I spent ten long days looking for a place to hide

I saw the mountains rolling

And I saw the cactus growing

And I saw storms running on the desert sky

And back there on the West Coast

I always wore a rain coat

And my feet never were quite staying dry

But I heard there was a fortune

And if you bet your hand to find it

You'd be a richer man for the rest of your life

And I, I've walked forever

By every mountain, redwood and pine

And I know

I've been gone forever

But honey I'm coming back for you this time

And usually I do as I'm told

But I'm telling you and I are as

Rare as gold

Hold my hand in Appalachia

You know that I won't blame ya

If you search me out to see what's inside

Now I'm home in Pennsylvania

Heaven knows that I can't save ya

But I'd love to be the wind that helps you fly

And I, I've walked forever

By every mountain, every white birch and pine

And I know

I've been gone forever

But honey, I'm coming back for you this time

And usually I do as I'm told

But I'm telling you and I

Are as rare

And I coulda' settled down in Santa Fe

But I know we got somethin'

And I just wanna call it's name

And I could've messed around on those northern plains

But that big sky country

Got nothin' on this summer rain

And I, I've walked forever

By every mountain, hollow and pine

And I know

I've been gone forever

But honey I'm coming back for you this time

And usually I do as I'm told

But I'm telling you and I are as

Rare as gold
