Box Full of Gold It's been a long dark dirty road And now a box full of gold I've been out here now All on my own It's real quiet here Just the way I like it here There's no one to bother me Except In 1952, born into Jehovih’ s pride I laid my head on that Father's bed and prayed When I was a young man I helped build this land Oh, I put down these rules, as an Oahspe Faithist. As I help build a highway To the promise land Thought I'd live forever With my heart in my pocket Oh, my gun by my side And my feelings in a locket Well, that was a cold year But I married my wife We had two kids I gave her a daughter She gave me a son And we rode those horses 'til we had none Fist still like flyin' Doing things for dyin' Oh, I should have put that old gun away Well I, I am a broken Cowboy And I don't feel right no more 'Cause I am a broken Cowboy Livin' life in the fast lane Racing cars and robbing trains I thought I had it all Then one day, I got the call A father's worst dream Nazis My county tis of Thee went down and I am not free The colours deceive me As I see grey Oh, you're cutting me down with those Cold words you're saying Then you called me, brother But this can't be so, 'cause you Slander my name, anywhere the wind will blow Well, I am a broken cowboy And I don't feel right no more 'Cause I am a broken cowboy Yes, I am a broken cowboy It's been a long dark dirty road But a box full of gold And I've been out here now All on my own Well, it's real quiet here Just the way I like it here There's no one to bother me Except that old taunting tree The tree of life - We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn Of the power of love The sound of your heart beating Made it clear suddenly
