The Great Gold Switch

[Verse] Bill the miner tough and strong Dug for gold all day long Wife and lover couldn't wait Planned to leave before it's late [Verse 2] Grabbed the chest thought gold inside Dreams of riches big and wide Ran away without a word Leaving Bill who never heard [Chorus] Open chest on run away Rusty tools in light of day No gold there no wealth to find Empty dreams left all behind [Verse 3] Bill had plans he wasn't told Swapped the tools and took the gold To the bank and safe it went Future bright and well content [Bridge] City lights and Wall Street gleam Bill the miner chasing dream Business suit and shiny shoes Left behind the mining blues [Chorus] Open chest on run away Rusty tools in light of day No gold there no wealth to find Empty dreams left all behind
