To be rich is to still remember To treasure your first dime To have a chance to say farewell
Story of your life, time of solitude and strife Freedom of an open road Hoping many miles to go Promises to keep, Countless gold fields to reap To be rich is to seek To relive the memory
Far off lands, quests of old Self-respect true grit Never cared what a fortune might buy To seek is to be rich
Story of your life, time of solitude and strife Freedom of an open road Hoping many miles to go Promises to keep, Countless gold fields to reap To be rich is to seek To relive the memory
All the strangers on your path Crossroads the letters from home The cooling embers of a Yuletide hearth All the songs of wilderness The truth in which you roamed They’re your lost troves but that’s what you recall
Story of your life, time of solitude and strife Freedom of an open road Hoping many miles to go Promises to keep, Countless gold fields to reap To be rich is to seek To relive the memory
