I been sinkin' like a rock in this high society 

‘Cause all that means so much to them, don't mean shit to me 

If I were into money, fame and power, I'd be sold 

But I know I tried , and I just can't find that solid country gold 


Now I was born in Nashville but I left there long ago 

‘Cause they built Music City by sacrificing soul 

L.A. ain't much different, ‘cept they got them fancy clothes 

And there's nary a sight or a leaving light of solid country gold 


Chorus: 

They say country music ain't quite all it used to be 

But they can't see the country for all the goddamned trees 

If you give to me a guitar ans my woman on the road 

I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold 


Now baby, I been thinkin' ‘bout where you and I should go 

You sell your apartment, and I'll shake off my load 

We'll take it down to Texas where we'll kiss that Yellow Rose 

And find ourselves some lovin' in solid country gold 


Repeat chorus twice 


Yes, I'll give to you my family, my solid country gold
