Píseň: If You Want To Find Love

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
Back Home Again
He was sitting on a bar stool
A picture from a cheating song
She’d been standing by the jukebox
Dropping quarters all night long.


He said, tell me: are you lonely?
Is there some place we can go?
She said: cowboy, you know I’m lonely
But there’s something you should know:


If you wanna find gold
Go looking in the mountains
If you wanna find silver
Go digging in stones
If you wanna find heaven
Go reading in the Bible
If you wanna find love
Go looking at home.


She touched the gold ring on his finger
And held it to the jukebox light
And she said. Stranger, think what you’re losing
If you leave here with me tonight.


So he hold her body closer
She felt feelings she’d never known
And he said: thank you, for the lesson
And if you need me I’ll be at home.


If you wanna find gold â€
