Years ago I used to think
That someday I could have you here beside me
Waking to the morning sun
So content cause you're the one I hold
But your dreams were filled
With the fortunes that a rich man had to offer
And not a simple country boy
Who didn't know your love was bought or sold
And now you've got your neon lights
And all your dreams of city life around you
But in a crowd you're still alone
And the loneliness you left at home surrounds you
I'm still the country boy who'll always know the love
And joy of where his fortunes are
Right here with the gold that's in the sun
And the Diamonds in the stars
As I walk the country roads
I see your face on every rose and flower
Do you ever think of me
When you walk the lonely streets at night
What would be the price I'd pay
To hear you say you'd come back forever
All I have to offer
Is love and a simple country life
And now you've got your neon lights
And all your dreams of city life around you
But in a crowd you're still alone
And the loneliness you left at home surrounds you
I'm still the country boy who'll always know the love
And joy of where his fortunes are
Right here with the gold that's in the sun
And the Diamonds in the stars
Right here with the gold that's in the sun
And the Diamonds in the stars
