Big Gold Mine
Chasing Love's Riches: Charley Crockett's Big Gold Mine
Lyrics
Well tell me now mama what am I to do
Expressing confusion or seeking guidance from a maternal figure about a situation.
There's just no getting next to you
Feeling unable to establish closeness or connection with someone.
I ain't looking for a big gold mine
Not seeking material wealth or success, expressing simpler desires.
I just wanna make you mine
Desiring a personal connection or relationship rather than material gain.
Tell me now sugar where did I go wrong
Seeking feedback or understanding from a romantic partner.
I wake up in the morning and I sing this song
Starting the day with a repetitive, possibly melancholic, song.
I've been a good man all my days
Claiming a history of virtuous behavior throughout one's life.
Trying to do like the good books says
Attempting to follow moral or ethical principles from religious teachings.
Although it may get heavy
Acknowledging potential challenges or difficulties in life.
Further on up the line
Anticipating challenges in the future, using a metaphor of a journey.
I'm much stronger than that levy
Asserting personal strength, suggesting resilience against challenges.
And I think you'll find...
Expressing confidence that the other person will realize this strength.
That silver city it's the place to be
Highlighting a desirable location, possibly metaphorical or symbolic.
That's what a pretty little girl told me
Recalling advice or information received from an attractive individual.
Rich men dance on a parlor floor
Describing a scene of opulence or wealth, suggesting contrasts.
Poor folks looking in through the door
Pointing out economic disparities, with the less fortunate observing the wealthy.
Although it may get heavy
Reiterating the potential for challenges in the future.
Further on down the road
Looking ahead to future difficulties using a journey metaphor.
I'm much stronger than that levy
Reaffirming personal strength and resilience against challenges.
And I'm about to let it show
Expressing a readiness to demonstrate this strength.
Well tell me darling what do I do now
Seeking advice or direction from a beloved person in a romantic context.
Just can't get behind this mule and plow
Expressing frustration or difficulty in dealing with a challenging task.
I don't need no big gold mine
Reiterating a preference for a personal connection over material wealth.
I just wanna make you mine
Expressing a desire to establish a romantic relationship.
