It might cost you a little cash

A little time, a tank of gas

Drive right past your hometownFind that house you first fell in love in

It might take you a couple weeks

To save for a trip down to the Keys

With all your friends from way back when

That′s a tab I don't mind payin′

Some might say that money makes the world go 'round

But they ain't here with you and me right now

Underneath this burnin′ skyline

Waiting for the day to turn to stars

All the gold in California

Ain′t close to what I got in my arms

Lord knows land, luck and pickup trucks

And diamonds don't come cheap

Thank God, love and sunsets are free

Just like an old tree

I carved our names in this guitar

That we picked up at a pawnshop

On a snowy day in Denver

We slept out in a million stars

What you got ain′t who you are

It's things like these that pay the most

That′s all you got to give her

I don't believe that money makes the world go ′round

'Cause you can't buy the way I feel right now

Underneath this burnin′ skyline

Waiting for the day to turn to stars

All the gold in Dahlonega

Ain′t what I got in my arms

Lord knows land, luck and pickup trucks

And diamonds don't come cheap

Thank God, love and sunsets are free

There′s a freedom in your eyes right now

That makes up for everything I've lost

Like every hero′s price they paid

To be safe right here, don't worry

Like the colors of Old Glory we won′t fade

Underneath this burnin' skyline

Waiting for the day to turn to stars

All the gold in Dahlonega

Ain't what I got in my arms

Lord knows land, luck and pickup trucks

And diamonds don′t come cheap

Thank God for faith and family

Thank God what they mean to me

Thank God, love and sunsets are free
