Digging for Gold Songtext
von The Stone Coyotes

I was kicking stones down by the river
Listening to the call of the wild
When you approached from the other direction
I sang you the song of the motherless child

You could say I′m a starry-eyed dreamer
You could say I'm a troubadour of old
You could say I′m a soldier of fortune
Or a prospector digging for gold

Outside the castle a lady in waiting
Had her application denied
She said that's a bitter pill to swallow
Just when I was hitting my stride

You could say I'm a starry-eyed dreamer
You could say I′m a troubadour of old
You could say I′m a high plains drifter
Or a prospector digging for gold

Digging for gold


I saw a man who took to the high wire
Looked like he was dying to please
He waved to the crowd below
And then he fell with the greatest of ease

You could say I'm a starry-eyed dreamer
You could say I′m a troubadour of old
You could say I'm a soldier of fortune
Or a prospector digging for gold

I′ve seen spirit horses with blood on their saddles
Angels with blue-white wings
Or maybe I'm a trickster
And I′ve actually seen none of these things

You could say I'm a starry-eyed dreamer
You could say I'm a troubadour of old
You could say I′m a soldier of fortune
A prospector digging for gold

I′ll give you twenty-five dollars
And then I'll give you twenty-five more
If you can answer this question
What am I talking to you for?


You could say I′m a starry-eyed dreamer
You could say I'm a troubadour of old
You could say I′m a high plains drifter
Or a prospector digging for gold

Digging
