Buried Treasures Songtext
von Johnny Paycheck

As I′m walking behind this cloud
I keep turning over memories
Buried treasures of the past once filled with you
This old ground I know its mine
Cause I worked it so many times
And the rain its been prayed for is fallin' from my eyes
Waiting for the setting sun
When a hard days work was done
We′d sit down on the baby and ran our dreams
But you turned it all around
With this other man you found
And you never thought I'd figure out your schemes
Now there's buried treasures hidden in the ground
Precious memories of the love that lived and died
You couldn′t be a simple wife you had to lead a cheatin′ life
And you lead me down a road I hated to rise But I did
Now the neighbors they all knew
They had seen him leave with you
But what they didn't see was I followed close behind
And the next day′s papers read
That a man had been found dead
And the lady he'd been seen with they couldn′t find
And there's buried treasures
Hidden in the ground
Precious memories of a love that lived and died
You couldn′t be a simple wife
You had to lead a cheatin' life
And you lead me down a road I hated to rise
But I did
(Mumbles and hums)
