Searching For Gold
(Sept.–Oct. 2000 – Tk)

If I had more money, would my baby stay?
Full dental, 401k
I can promise I'll prosper, but I can't predict when
So I won't see my baby 'til then.

If I always wore oxfords, cuff links for my sleeves,
If I played golf on Sundays, would my baby leave?
I wear a borrowed jean jacket, my shoes are old,
But I'm working on a new song — it's about searching for gold.

“The dirt I keep turning keeps turning up stones,
The miners before me found and left with the gold.
And now the caves are all empty, the rivers are dry —
Just can't find me a baby who'll stay by my side.
Just can't find me a baby who'll stay by my side.”

All drinkers have a reason, it's usually good.
Beer is a lover that does what it should.
The loneliness comes like mosquitoes in grass,
Sucker punching... kamikaze crash.
