Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots full of gravel Coffee burnt black in the pan Map's just a rumor Folded soft in my hand Sun on my shoulders Back talkin’ every step Chasing a shimmer A debt I ain’t paid yet [Chorus] Got a pan full of maybe And a heart full of gold Every river keeps a secret That it never told If it’s dust If it’s nuggets If it’s stories when I’m old I’ll keep diggin’ Keep sifting On the hunt for gold [Verse 2] Nails rimmed in river Hands cracked Red and raw Talking to gravel Like it might break the law Campfire’s a circle Of men and their ghosts Each one swears he’s This valley’s next host [Chorus] Got a pan full of maybe And a heart full of gold Every river keeps a secret That it never told If it’s dust If it’s nuggets If it’s stories when I’m old I’ll keep diggin’ Keep sifting On the hunt for gold [Bridge] Maybe it’s buried in the bank of this stream Maybe it’s hiding in a life I ain’t dreamed If I never strike it Still I walked this road Chasing a glimmer Calling it gold [Chorus] Got a pan full of maybe And a heart full of gold Every river keeps a secret That it never told If it’s dust If it’s nuggets If it’s stories when I’m old I’ll keep diggin’ Keep sifting On the hunt for gold (on the hunt for gold)

Dusty campfire folk with a steady shuffle groove, brushed snare and upright bass, twangy acoustic and a lazy harmonica weaving in and out. Verses stay close and intimate; chorus widens with stacked male vocals and stomps. Bridge drops to just voice and guitar before everything crashes back for a singalong final hook.
