I been sinkin' 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

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, 'cept they got them fancy clothes
And there's nary a sight nor a leaving light of solid country gold

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 to me a guitar and my woman on the road
I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold

Now baby, I been thinkin' 'bout where you and I should go
You sell you 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 lovin' in 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 to me a guitar and my woman on the road
I'll give to you my family, my 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 to me a guitar and my woman on the road
I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold

Yes, I'll give to you my family, my sold country gold
