Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is there ever enough
Space between us
To keep us both honest and true?
[Verse 2]
Why is it so hard
Just to sit in the yard
And stare at the sky so blue?
[Verse 3]
I got a new way of walkin'
And a new way of talkin'
Honey, when I'm around you
[Verse 4]
But it gives me the blues
When I got some good news
And you're not there to bring it to
[Verse 5]
Life is a blessing
It's a delicatessen
Of all the little favors you do
[Verse 6]
All wrapped up together
No matter the weather
Baby, you always come through
[Verse 7]
It's a measure of treasure
That gives me the pleasure
Of lovin' you the way I do
[Verse 8]
And you know I would gladly
Say "I need your love badly"
And bring these little things to you
[Verse 9]
'Cause you got gold
Gold inside of you
You got gold
Gold inside of you
Well, I got some
Gold inside me too
[Verse 10]
Well, I'm thinkin' I'm knowin'
That I gotta be goin'
You know I hate to say "So long"
[Verse 11]
It gives me an ocean
Of mixed-up emotion
I'll have to work it out in song
[Verse 12]
Well, I'm leavin' a lot
For the little I got
Well, you know a lotta little will do
[Verse 13]
And if you give me your love
I'll let it shine up above
And light my way back home to you
[Verse 14]
'Cause you got gold
Gold inside of you
You got gold
Gold inside of you
Well, I got some
Gold inside me too
[Verse 15]
You got wheels
Turnin' inside of you
You got wheels
Turnin' inside of you
Well, I got wheels
Turnin' inside me too
