Gold

John Stewart


When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evenin'.
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar,
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'.

(Chorus)
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul,
There's people out there turnin' music into gold.

Now my buddy, Jim Bass, he's a workin' pumpin' gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour.
He's got rhythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans
And he sings Rock'n'Roll in the shower.

(Chorus)

Oh, California girls are the greatest in the world
And each one's a song in the making.
They're singin' right to me, I can hear the melody
And the story is there for the takin'.

(Chorus)

(Refrain 3 times)

(Chorus)

(1st Verse)

(Chorus Then)
Flyin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul,
There's people out there turnin' music into gold.

Flyin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul,
People out there turnin' music into gold.
People out there turnin' music into gold.
People out there turnin' music into gold.
 
(Refrain 3 times)

(Repeat + Fade)
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold.
