Lyrics & Music: G. Frost M. Meyer
All the old boys
Have gone away
And left me here
Their women and their children
Proudly tag along
But their faces are lined
With years of hopeful tears
I’ve done a little thinking
And half a sea of drinking
The bottle and me
And daylights almost broke
I watched them build
A two-lane track
And top it off
With high-speed black
But the faster you go
The harder it is to turn back
All the boys
And all their toys
Are headin’ out again
Like a captain of a ship
I’m gonna sit and wait
Till the end
Remembering those better days
Before they got caught in the
Chorus
Goldrush
Goldrush
Has broken another town again
Has fooled another fool again
Great men die
But their words survive
Memories linger on
“gold can buy a piece of paradise,
But gold can’t buy you love”
Cos the wise men know
That the price of gold
Is never as much as it costs
Broken towns
And friendships lost
For some glittering prize
But you sold out your soul on the
Chorus
Goldrush, goldrush, goldrush
Has broken another town again
Has fooled another fool again
Has fooled another fool …
All the old boys
Have gone away
