[Verse 1]
Sun comes up in a blaze
Paintin’ rusted gates
Boots hit dirt
Coffee in a mason
Runnin’ late
Got rows of corn and a pump jack jumpin’ time
Sweat on my hat brim
Dust in my mind
[Chorus]
We’re ridin’ on that liquid gold
Black river runnin’ under this red-road soul
From the fields to the rigs where the hot winds roll
Yeah
We’re blessed and broke and proud and bold
Chasin’ corn and cattle and that liquid gold
(liquid gold, liquid gold) (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Eighty miles of highway
Grain truck leanin’ hard
Tires hum a prayer for this sunburnt heart
One hand on the wheel
One on a worn-out dream
Tank near empty
But my hope stays green
[Chorus]
We’re ridin’ on that liquid gold
Black river runnin’ under this red-road soul
From the fields to the rigs where the hot winds roll
Yeah
We’re blessed and broke and proud and bold
Chasin’ corn and cattle and that liquid gold
(liquid gold, liquid gold)
[Bridge]
It’s heat waves shakin’ on a long straight line
Dust devils dancin’ on a county sign
We haul and we harvest
We curse and we grin
Prayin’ that the rain and that well both hit again
[Chorus]
We’re ridin’ on that liquid gold
Black river runnin’ under this red-road soul
From the fields to the rigs where the hot winds roll
Yeah
We’re blessed and broke and proud and bold
Chasin’ corn and cattle and that liquid gold
(liquid gold, liquid gold)
Haulin’ dreams through Texas on that liquid gold
