Well I been sinking like a rock in this high society '
Cause all that means so much to them, don't mean shit to me 
If I were in to money, fame and power, 
I'd be sold 
But I know 
I tried, and 
I just can't find that solid country gold 
But now I was born in 
Nashville but 
I left there long ago '
Cause they built music city by sacrificing soul 
L.A. ain't much different, accept they got them fancy clothes 
And there's nary a sight or a leaving light of solid country gold '
Cause they say country music ain't quite all it used to be 
But they can't see the country for all the goddamned trees 
If you give me to a guitar and my woman on the road 
I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold alright 
Now baby I been thinking 'bout where you and 
I should go 
You sell your apartment, and 
I'll shake off my load 
We'll take it down to 
Texas where we'll kiss that yellow rose 
And find ourselves some loving in solid country gold 
Well they say country music ain't quite all it used to be 
But they can't see the country for all the goddamned trees 
If you give me to a guitar and my woman on the road 
I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold 
Oh 'cause they say country music ain't quite all it used to be 
They can't see the country for all the goddamned trees 
And if you give me to a guitar and my woman on the road 
I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold yeah 
Yes, I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold, alright
