Stars - Jupiter Creek lyrics

The trees were shakin as the rain came down I been walkin for days seems like town after town Well I heard there was gold down Near old Jupiter Creek Now Darlin' I swear to God there's A piece there for me Well l bought me a claim, had to Make it my home To make ends meet 1 sold everything That I owned And I got rne a partner 'OI Jim was his name From dawn to dusk we worked that hole Each day was the same (Chorus) And there's gold in the high country I've seen it shine with m}' own eyes I know it's there just waitin for me And it won't he long till I'll be Comin home to you One morning we struck water It came in so fast We were sixty feet down the day That Jim Drowned I don't know if 1 can last The day I sold that claim, it near Brought me to tears Though it's still in my blood It's been near three years Since I heard there was gold down Near old Jupiter Creek Well Darlin I still swear to God There's a piece there for me Chorus And it won't be long till I'll be comin home to you
