GOLD by 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 the breathin'

Drivin' over Canaan 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

Sings rock 'n' roll in the shower

Drivin' over Canaan singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold

California girls are the greatest in the world

Each one a song in the making

Singin' right to me I can hear the melody

The story is there for the takin'

Drivin' over Canaan singin' to my soul

There's people out there turnin' music into gold

People out there

Turnin' music into gold, into gold
