It might cost you a little cash
A little time, a tank of gas
Drive right past your hometown
Find that house you first fell in love in
It might take you a couple weeks
To save for a trip down to the Keys
With all your friends from way back when
Thats a tab I dont mind payin
Some might say that money makes the world go round
But they aint here with you and me right now
Underneath this burnin skyline
Waiting for the day to turn to stars
All the gold in California
Aint close to what I got in my arms
Lord knows land, luck and pickup trucks
And diamonds dont come cheap
Thank God, love and sunsets are free
Just like an old tree
I carved our names in this guitar
That we picked up at a pawnshop
On a snowy day in Denver
We slept out in a million stars
What you got aint who you are
Its things like these that pay the most
Thats all you got to give her
I dont believe that money makes the world go round
Cause you cant buy the way I feel right now
Underneath this burnin skyline
Waiting for the day to turn to stars
All the gold in Dahlonega
Aint what I got in my arms
Lord knows land, luck and pickup trucks
And diamonds dont come cheap
Thank God, love and sunsets are free
Theres a freedom in your eyes right now
That makes up for everything Ive lost
Like every heros price they paid
To be safe right here, dont worry
Like the colors of Old Glory we wont fade
Underneath this burnin skyline
Waiting for the day to turn to stars
All the gold in Dahlonega
Aint what I got in my arms
Lord knows land, luck and pickup trucks
And diamonds dont come cheap
Thank God for faith and family
Thank God what they mean to me
Thank God, love and sunsets are free
