You trade green hills for ones that are all full of demons
They come out at night, babe
Just trust me, I've seen them
You changed the fortune I came for
I came here to strike gold, but you struck me first

And I think that we're over this place
Yeah, there's plenty to run from, but nowhere to run
And it's written all over your face
They say there's gold here out west, but it's fit for a king on his own
I came here to strike gold, but you struck me first

Yeah, there's gold out this way
They told me they're sure
But we're stronger than iron, and that's worth a lot more
And this place gives me monstrous dreams, babe
You don't have to strike gold, just please strike them down

And I think that we're over this place
Yeah, there's plenty to run from, but no room to run
And it's written all over your face
They say there's gold here out west, but it's fit for a king on his own
I came here to strike gold, but you struck me first

I hear there's plenty still out there the road will come to
But I'm all the richer 'cause darling, I struck gold with you

Yeah I think that we're over this place
Yeah, there's plenty to run from, but nowhere to run
And it's written all over your face
They say there's gold here out west
But it's fit for a king on his own
I came here to strike gold, but you struck me first
