Well I went into the country
Tryin' to find myself a life
I had so many trouble
In every job and every night
Travelin' alone in this lonely road
Everyday a different town
Was lookin' for gold or just a soul
Who raise me up from feelin' down

End up every night in a honky tonk
Guess that's the life for me
No gold, no work, no love
Not even a friend for a company
I was gettin' crazy inside my head
The darkness followed me
Just kept drivin' all alone, and thought
This never gonna set me free

One day a town just made me stop
I didn't know what it was
Then I saw this girl comin' right on me
Like a light shinin' from above
Maybe that's the place
I'm gonna find my precious gold
Gonna stay right here, been a
Long time lost, wanna find a place to go

Cuz she's my hillbilly treasure
First time I saw her smile
I didn't have any doubt
That's she's my hillbilly treasure
I found the biggest treasure
This land could ever give

And now that I found
My precious pretty thing
Will try my very best
To keep her on my side
Her simple way of smilin' at me
Just got me from right on
I had to stay, there was no doubt
I found my precious gold
