lyrics
We headed out to California looking for our weight in gold
but we just filled our bags with iron ore
and headed back toward the cold.
Never to reveal our secret to anyone back home
where the streets were a diamond silver from a 1748 snow storm
that left our town for dead like a Ralph Emerson poem
I overheard my mother talk about the fortunes in her maiden name
she said that the secret was kept in somebody’s grave.
We spent the next couple weeks in a graveyard
searching for our grandfather’s bones
but we didn’t find any silver we didn’t find any gold
to save my only daughter from the ghost she’s become
and all the debts that she owes.
I have to sleep with the weight on my back
and there’s no time for eating
she has to watch her father turn in to some kind of thief.
