GRAVEL TO GOLD
LYRICS BY PAUL MASK/RK BROWN

VERSE 1
I THREW A THOUSAND ROCKS FROM THAT GRAVEL ROAD
IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE, WITH MY BROTHER BEAU
HE WAS BORN TOO SOON, NEARLY DIED,
STUBBORN LITTLE CUSS, BARELY HELD ON TO LIFE
PROBLEMS AT BIRTH MADE HIM KIND?A SLOW
THOUGHT I COULD TURN GRAVEL TO GOLD

CHORUS
HE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE RICH,
MADE BIG PLANS WHAT TO BUY WITH IT
JUST OLD YELLOW ROCKS, I NEVER TOLD HIM SO
OUR LITTLE SECRET, TURNING GRAVEL TO GOLD

VERSE 2
WALKED ME TO SCHOOL, CAME BACK LATER FOR ME
LOVED RACIN? HOME IN HIS LITTLE BARE FEET
STARTED GETTIN? WEAK, LAYED IN BED A FEW DAYS
DOC PAID A VISIT, THEN THE AMBULANCE CAME
WITH A FRAIL HAND, HE PULLED ME DOWN CLOSE,
SAID, TAKE OF MY GRAVEL TURNED GOLD

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
THAT WAS SO LONG AGO, I STILL HAVE A DREAM
LITTLE BEAU?S IN HEAVEN, REACHIN? DOWN IN A STREAM
IN HIS BARE FEET, STILL SMILIN? SO
SHOWIN? ME SOME ROCKS, THIS TIME IT?S REAL GOLD

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
IT WAS OUR LITTLE SECRET, TURNING GRAVEL TO GOLD
