I found a nugget on the road
It was shining like pure gold
Many lonely miles I have behind
Seems like forever since I lay down
A dream can tear your heart apart
A dream can take you far
Into the dark or into the light
Whiskey row in old Prescott
I sure spent quite a lot
Empty pockets once again
I'm a man without a friend
A dream can make you lose your mind
Cast a shadow and turn you blind
To the beauty of the dawn
And make you all alone
There was a summer time long ago
I know I was young and time crept slow
And now I run beside the tracks
I sure know there's no going back
A dream can tear your heart apart
A dream can take you far
Into the dark or into the light
Now if you find a nugget on the road
Take good care of your gold
