I never was good at talkin' to women
I probably was a little too shy
Guess I kind of figured it would happen on its own
But my years they rolled on by
'Til I couldn't wait another day for her to come along
So I went searchin' high in the hills
For a treasure that I could hold at night
But every time I thought I was closer
I'd get lost somewhere in my mind
And, oh, honey
I guess that I looked for you in all the wrong places
Well, call me a blind man 'cause your love I couldn't see
But you rescued me and pointed me in your direction
And when you opened my eyes, I saw you
The gold mine
♪
I don't know why things happen like that they do
But I remember havin' nothin' before I had you
It was a hard place to be and a sure way to die
Well, life's been pretty sweet since I found the gold mine
Yeah, I went searchin' high in the hills
For the treasure that I could hold at night
And every time I thought I was closer
I'd get lost somewhere in my mind
And, oh, honey
I guess that I looked for you in all the wrong places
Well, call me a blind man 'cause your love I couldn't see
But you rescued me and pointed me in your direction, oh, darlin'
And when you opened my eyes, I saw you
The gold mine
