Gold

She grabbed the keys said let's go for a ride
He could see in her eyes
That she had every intention of getting lost
Skip and a hop she descended the porch
He didn't think anymore
He just followed her out. They rolled down the drive

There was nothing to find
Long ago this prairie town had died
The silos ain't no mountain tops
There's an ocean but the water is crops
They reached the end of the road
As the sun sunk low
Oh all they saw was gold

Rolled to a stop where the earth turned raw
She didn't draw
The keys so Neil kept singing
Out the window and onto the roof
He climbed up too
And they perched to the west
And the fading sun

There was nothing to say
Radio said it better anyway
Same color as his singing heart
Cinnamon girls are sweet and tart
It was a sight to behold
As the sun sunk low
Oh all they saw was gold

And as it faded to gray
In the breeze the stalks danced and swayed
He felt the heat of the night
Her too but he was blind to her light
Though he never tried
As she came down driver side
He caught a glimpse in her eye
So surprised but he locked on tight
In that sliver of light
Oh that town saw some life
It was a sight to behold
As the sun sunk low
Oh all they saw was gold
