Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Red clay on my tongue
I’ve been chasing this river
Since I was young
Coffee in a tin cup
Hands cracked and numb
Sifting through gravel
Till my fingers go dumb
[Chorus]
And then I see it in the pan
Like a promise coming true
Gold as yellow as the western sun
Breaking through the blue
Warm as August on my face
When the long day’s finally done
Gold as yellow as the western sun
Gold as yellow as the western sun (ohh)
[Verse 2]
Shovel hits gravel
Echo off the ridge
Wind hums a prayer
Through the skeleton bridge
I almost gave it up
Packed my hopes away
Then that soft little shimmer
Turned the whole damn day
[Chorus]
And now it’s burning in my hands
Like a story just begun
Gold as yellow as the western sun
Spilling over everyone
Warm as Sunday on my skin
When the hard work’s finally done
Gold as yellow as the western sun
Gold as yellow as the western sun
[Bridge]
I thought I came here for fortune
For metal and for weight
But it’s the warmth that found me
Not the numbers on a slate
That sky, that light, that glimmer
All folding into one
A handful of tomorrow
And a pocket full of sun
[Chorus]
So let it shine across the pan
Let it blaze on everyone
Gold as yellow as the western sun
Running wild where rivers run
Warm as home inside my chest
When the day’s last race is won
Gold as yellow as the western sun
Gold as yellow as the western sun

Style
country, Warm Americana-folk groove; fingerpicked acoustic guitar and brushed snare, upright bass walking softly. Male vocals, intimate but confident, with a light country drawl. Fiddle swells in the chorus, subtle organ pad in the bridge. Energy builds from campfire-quiet in the verse to a wide, horizon-filling singalong in the hook, with tight two-part harmonies on the title line., warm
