I Got Gold
Unearthing Hidden Riches: "I Got Gold" Meaning Revealed
Lyrics
I haven’t got a pick up truck
I lack a pick-up truck
To take me into town
Unable to travel into town
I don’t have the ways and means
Insufficient resources to spend money
To lay my money down
Cannot lay down money
Lay it down
Reiteration of the inability to spend
But I got gold, underneath the ground
Despite lack of material wealth, there is valuable gold underground
Rise me up before the sun lays the bad boys down
Request to be awakened before sunrise
I’ll go out into the yard, and kick my feet around
Expressing a desire to engage in carefree activities in the yard
I’ll kick 'em around
Repetition of the desire to kick feet around for enjoyment
'Cause I got gold, underneath the ground
Despite challenges, there is valuable gold underground
Bill collectors ring my phone
Bill collectors are pursuing the speaker
Keep me on the run
Being constantly on the move to evade bill collectors
But they don’t know the ways I’ve got
Hidden ways of finding joy not known to bill collectors
The ways of having fun
Ways of having fun not understood by others
I have fun,
Confirmation of having fun despite challenges
I got gold, underneath the ground
Despite challenges, there is valuable gold underground
Do a Jigg above a twig, spin yourself around.
Suggesting a dance or celebration above the ground
Dig down low below the soil that's, where I'll be found,
Emphasizing digging below the surface to find the speaker
I'll be found.
Reiteration of the location where the speaker will be found
Digging gold, underneath the ground
Gold is hidden underground and being actively sought
Spending gold, underneath the ground
Indication of spending or utilizing the discovered gold
I got gold, underneath the ground.
Despite challenges, there is valuable gold underground
