Born and raised in the smoky blue hills between the Cardinal and the Mockingbird At 19 years, I joined Uncle Sam because I always wanted to serve I left my family and I left my home in the hickory and the ash and the oak And they shipped us off to a broken world where the dust would make you choke We rode with a cat on a one-eyed dragon up medina ridge's sand We've leaped from the highest heavens with St. Michael's warrior band We've ridden bolts of tropic lightning all around the world But I've never seen nothing like I saw that day when I found my golden-eyed girl Bye-bye, I came back home with a heart of icy steel I'd forgotten how to love, I'd forgotten how to pray, and I'd forgotten how to feel It didn't take long before I found out that I didn't come home alone Desert demons had followed me back and they chilled me to the bone When the day is run and the work is done and it's finally time to lie down Like the ghost of Luscious Clay, they get up and they walk around We rode with a cat on a one-eyed dragon up Medina Ridge's sand We've leaped from the highest heavens with St. Michael's warrior band We've ridden bolts of tropic lightning all around the world But I've never seen nothing like I saw that day when I found my golden-eyed girl I wandered down the street to state in a little town called Bristol I found her there in O'mainin's pub, looking hotter than a two-dollar pistol She was five foot two with golden eyes and hair kissed by Celtic fire She melted this hillbilly's icy heart and she scorched it with desire Wild as a minx but sweet as soda pop She gut hooked me hard when she sang old Rocky Top I love her laugh and I love her smile and I love when she's feeling frisky She's sugar and she's spice, and she's everything nice unless she's shooting whiskey We rode with a cat on a one-eyed dragon up Medina Ridge's sand We've leaped from the highest heavens with St. Michael's warrior band We've ridden bolts of tropic lightning all around the world But I never seen nothing like I saw that day when I found my golden-eyed girl It's been nine years now since Lauren took my last name I don't care if it's been a hundred years, I'll still love her just the same She reminded me how to love, she reminded me how to pray And late at night when the demons call, she chases those bastards away We make our home in the harbor now, not far from the Valley of Thunder The blessings we've received and the love we've found still fill us with awe and wonder But if you're ever down and country music's home and it's true beauty you seek If you take your time, well you just might find Two golden-eyed girls and three blue-eyed boys Splashing around Cedar Creek We rode with a cat on a one-eyed dragon up Medina Ridge's sand We've leaped from the highest heavens with St. Michael's warrior band We've ridden bolts of tropic lightning all around the world But I never seen nothing like I saw that day when I found my golden-eyed girl Five Tennesseans we are a-molding' Five young patriots too embolden' But don't worry about me and the feisty one For you see, our life is.... golden
