about

To all, I give you my second solo single! ‘Gold Ringers’ is a country number I wrote back a couple of years ago and the structure has changed quite a bit (as is with most of my old song ideas). It has transformed from the originally intended folk song it was to my first recorded country song. Even the instrument solo on this track was initially played to the style of folk guitar but was later changed to piano. All the instrument parts are played entirely by me in this solo venture. Enjoy!

lyrics

VERSE 1

One day, must be some seven years ago,
I was with my girl in my four-wheel drive on the road
We weren’t doing much, just trekking out on our own
I said, “Watch it girl; ‘cause we sure ain’t going home”

VERSE 2

We wandered east, for a tavern we should find
‘Twas a stormy night then I finally saw the sign
We soon had stopped and parked that truck of mine
Then we stepped inside to a world of another kind

CHORUS

Then that night, as the stars were bright,
She said, “Darling, we’ve got time”
I scratched my head as I lay in bed
I said, “We’re working out every dime”

VERSE 3

The very next noon, we checked out of that local saloon
We trekked even more, until we’d both seen the moon
She saw a motel but the night man told us it was full
So we hopped in the back seat and fell asleep too soon

Oh come on!

[INSTRUMENTAL PIANO SOLO]

CHORUS

Then that night, as the stars were bright,
She said, “Darling, we’ve got time”
I scratched my head as I lay in bed
I said, “We’re working out every dime”

BRIDGE

The Good Lord knows, we’re drawing close to winter
We’ll be gone, taking nothing out of here
We’d better make the gold before it’s over
And head right home to those we hold so dear

VERSE 4

Thursday morn at dawn, at the early hours of sunrise,
With the radio on, we were making our final ride
The loot glittered so bright, in front of our Boss’s eyes
Then he gave us the roll and we were heading back with a smile

Then he gave us the roll and we were heading back with a smile, yeah...
Then he gave us the roll and we were heading back with a smile

Hey!

[END GUITAR SOLO]
