Gold Rush
Old yankee's been taken
Evangelical cross forsaken
Tavern talkin'
Westward walkin'
Forty days for a frontier crossin'
A man of God
Lust for the money
I'll dig for gold til' my hands are bloodied
A man of God
Lust for the money
I won't need God where I'm headed, honey!
Eighteen forty-two
Right before forty-nine
Make it out quick before the prairie dogged wagon line
Bartered with a crooked crew
For maps and their southern brew
Moonshine!
Runnin' for a land grab
Dreamin' of lamb shank
New York city with its bustlin' bar tab
The inn says their no room
Well I traded my cross for a night at the saloon
A man of God
Lust for the money
I'll dig for gold til' my hands are bloodied
A man of God
Lust for the money
I won't need God where I'm headed, honey!
I won't be waitin'
With gold on my finger tips
No more soul savin'
With gold on my finger tips
I'm only cravin'
Gold on my fingertips
I need that gold, baby!
Fill my pockets full of gold
Evangelical cross forsaken
Tavern talkin'
Westward walkin'
Forty days for a frontier crossin'
A man of God
Lust for the money
I'll dig for gold til' my hands are bloodied
A man of God
Lust for the money
I won't need God where I'm headed, honey!
Eighteen forty-two
Right before forty-nine
Make it out quick before the prairie dogged wagon line
Bartered with a crooked crew
For maps and their southern brew
Moonshine!
Runnin' for a land grab
Dreamin' of lamb shank
New York city with its bustlin' bar tab
The inn says their no room
Well I traded my cross for a night at the saloon
A man of God
Lust for the money
I'll dig for gold til' my hands are bloodied
A man of God
Lust for the money
I won't need God where I'm headed, honey!
I won't be waitin'
With gold on my finger tips
No more soul savin'
With gold on my finger tips
I'm only cravin'
Gold on my fingertips
I need that gold, baby!
Fill my pockets full of gold
