Nanci Griffith - Heart Of A Miner lyrics
[Nanci Griffith - Heart Of A Miner lyrics]
On this Amarillo highway
Daydreamin' the South of France
I could whistle you out waltzin' there
Would you still say you can't?
Heart of a miner here takin' her last chance
Heart of a miner
Kept her feelings buried deep
Heart of a miner
Could there be something she needs?
Just a treasure that could hold her
That's not fool's gold
What could the miner do when her
Heart was made of crystal?
She used to keep it on the shelf
Now she dreams of you high
Up in your mountains
It was that treasure that you held
Look at this lonely miner
Here who finally fell
Heart of a miner
Kept her feelings buried deep
Heart of a miner
Could there be something she needs?
Just a treasure that could hold her
That's not fool's gold
Tell me he's not fool's gold
It's still harvest time out
On this Amarillo highway
Just a lonely miner still a
Thousand miles from home
