Kelsey Waldon - The Goldmine Lyrics

Daddy you're a pilgrim, on your own kind of cloud
You've got all the possessions that make a family so proud
But a house on the hill, ain't everybody's dream
All the riches, and the pleasures, ain't everything

No I don't want the goldmine
I don't want what you got
No I don't want the goldmine
I just want to be alright

Now you're the biggest, and the brightest, and the smartest one around
You've really tried your hardest to show your face in this town
But you left the ones you loved, to be with someone new
And this paper made of green is really making me blue

No I don't want the goldmine
I don't want what you got
I don't want the goldmine
I just want to be alright

Mama don't want me to fail
Mama don't want me to end up in jail
Mama don't want me to turn out like you
Turns out sometimes I do

But I don't the goldmine
I don't want what you got
No I don't want the goldmine
I just want to be alright
I just want to be alright
I just want to be alright
