Another Man’s Gold lyrics
by Dean Brody
I was watchin' cartoons on a Saturday morning
And I heard daddy start the truck
I came runnin' from the house and waved him down
'Cause he was makin' a run to the dump
We watched the Bears and licked ice cream cones
Take a little walk around
I'll never forget what my daddy said
The day we pulled that bike from the ground
He said one man's trash is another man's gold
If it's thrown away it's free to take
A little oil, she'll be good to go
So I rode that bicycle home
Thumbs up, daddy honkin' on the horn
I got my first job workin' on a dairy farm
Drivin' tractor and bailin' hay
I'd have to circle around a bog in the ground
Where sat an old Mustang '68
One evenin' I asked that farmer
Why that car was just wastin' away
He said you can have it for free it don't mean nothin' to me
And I couldn't help but think
