Larry Butler - Buried Treasures lyrics

As I'm walkin' behind this plow I keep turnin' over memories Buried treasure of a past once filled with you This old ground I know it's mine And I've worked it so many times And the rain it's been praying for Is falling from my eyes Waiting for the settin' sun When a hard day's work is done We'd sit down and rock the baby And plan our dreams But you turned it all around With this other man you found And you never thought I'd figure out your scheme And there's buried treasure Hidden in the ground Precious memories of a love That lived and died You couldn't be the simple wife You had to lead the cheatin' life And you led me down a road I hate to ride Now the neighbors they all knew They had seen him leave with you But what they didn't see Was I followed close behind And the next day's paper read That a man had been found dead And the lady he'd been seen with That can't find And there's buried treasure Hidden in the ground Precious memories of a love That lived and died You couldn't be the simple wife You had to lead the cheatin' life And you led me down a road I hate to ride As I'm walkin' behind this plow I keep turning over memories Buried treasure of a past once filled with you This old ground I know it's mine And I've worked it so many times And the rain it's been praying for Is falling from my eyes
