Buried Treasures

As I'm walking behind this plow, I keep turning over memories

Buried treasure of a past once filled with you

This old ground I know it's mine and I've worked it so many times

And the rain it's been praying for is falling from my eyes

Waiting for the setting sun when a hard day's work is done

We'd sit down and rock the baby and plan our dreams

But you turned it all around with this other man you found

And you never thought I'd figure out your scheme

And there's buried treasure hidden in the ground

Precious memories of a love that lived and died

You couldn't be the simple wife

You had to lead the cheating life

And you laid me down a road I hate to ride

Now the neighbors they all knew

They had seen him leave with you

But what they didn't see was I followed close behind

And the next day's paper read

That a man had been found dead

And the lady he'd been seen with they can't find

And there's buried treasure hidden in the ground

Precious memories of a love that lived and died

You couldn't be the simple wife

You had to lead the cheating life

And you laid me down a road I hate to ride

As I'm walking behind this plow, I keep turning over memories

Buried treasure of a past once filled with you

This old ground knows me and I've worked it so many times

And the rain is a-raining down on me
