Details

Description

When it came to launching the Holler Nashville Sessions Presented by George Dickel, we couldn't think of many more suitable to invite than the neo-traditional prince of country from Washington state, Zach Top.

Treating us to album favourite 'Dirt Turns To Gold', the song is a fine example of Top's storytelling ability, the emotional turn as he sings "She said I could get used to this light" enough to bring you to tears of joy.

George Dickel presents Zach Top performing his song 'Dirt Turns to Gold' for the Holler Nashville Sessions. Recorded at Horton Events in Nashville, Tennessee.

'Dirt Turns to Gold' - 00:32 - 03:34

‘Dirt Turns to Gold’ Lyrics:

Daddy said, "They ain't makin' no more of it"
I said, "That's fine with me, 'cause I'm tired of working on it
Soon as I can, I'm outta here
I don't love it like you do"
"Son, I know just how you feel
I used to feel the same way too"

'Til I learned dirt turns to gold
You gotta be patient, son, it happens slow
It'll take some blood, sweat, and tears
More than a few hardworking years
I know it's hard to see that far down the road
Oh, but dirt turns to gold

Well, I saved enough to move into that city
Where the lights shine bright at night, and the girls are pretty
Oh, but some nights, I can't sleep a wink
For the sirens and the horns
And I miss crickets and whippoorwills
And the peaceful sounds of home

Now I know dirt turns to gold
I washed it off, but it stayed down in my soul
And there's this girl I met, says she'd like to see
The place that means so much to me
She wants to feel that feeling that I know
Back where dirt turns to gold

So I took her back home for a long weekend
She'd never seen nothing like County Road Ten
I rolled all those windows down
Pointed out my old stomping grounds
After supper at mom and dad's
Swinging in the swing, hand in hand
Watching the sun sinking out of sight
She said, "I could get used to this life"

Out where dirt turns to gold
On a piece of heaven down some country road
There's space out here for us to breathe
To build a home and plant some seeds
Sit on the porch and watch our children grow
That's where dirt turns to gold
Yeah, dirt turns to gold
