Rocky Mountain Gold
Nature's Currency: Discovering Wealth in Rocky Mountain Gold
Lyrics
Million dollar view with deer on the spit
Enjoying a valuable scenic view with deer being cooked on a spit
A 50 cal rifle and a bone dry kit
Possessing a .50 caliber rifle and a well-prepared survival kit
Peace in the valley and bugles on the ridge
Experiencing tranquility in the valley with the sound of bugles on the ridge
Traps are sprung where the water flows
Setting traps in areas where water flows
The days are warm and the nights are cold
Describing warm days and cold nights in the environment
The grass is soft and the moon is bright and big
Noting the soft grass and the brightness of the moon
I don't need money
Expressing a lack of desire for money
I don't want silver
Expressing a lack of interest in silver
Just give me clean air and the sound of a running river
Desiring clean air and the sound of a running river
The only wealth
Stating that the only wealth of importance is described later
I ever cared to hold
Emphasizing that the only wealth cared for is related to the Rocky Mountains
Are these skies full of Rocky Mountain gold
Referring to the skies of the Rocky Mountains as the significant wealth
Folks back home are rocking by the fire
Depicting people back home enjoying life by the fire
Reading Robison Crusoe dream and admire
Reading and admiring Robinson Crusoe, a novel about survival
This very life I'm living right now
Reflecting on the current life and its challenges
But is it rough on the mind and hard on the knees
Acknowledging the mental and physical challenges of the lifestyle
And if wasn't for nights like these
Expressing gratitude for peaceful nights that make the lifestyle bearable
I'd had long ago packed up and packed out but
Indicating a willingness to endure challenges for the current lifestyle
I don't need money
Reiterating the lack of desire for money
I don't want silver
Reiterating the lack of interest in silver
Just give me clean air and the sound of a running river
Repeating the desire for clean air and the sound of a running river
The only wealth
Restating that the only wealth of importance is described later
I ever cared to hold
Reiterating that the only cared-for wealth is related to the Rocky Mountains
Are these skies full of Rocky Mountain gold
Reaffirming the importance of the skies in the Rocky Mountains as wealth
I don't need money
Repeating the lack of desire for money
I don't want silver
Repeating the lack of interest in silver
Just give me clean air and the sound of a running river
Repeating the desire for clean air and the sound of a running river
The only wealth
Reiterating that the only wealth of importance is described later
I ever cared to hold
Reiterating that the only cared-for wealth is related to the Rocky Mountains
Are these skies full of Rocky Mountain gold
Reaffirming the importance of the skies in the Rocky Mountains as wealth
