Born and raised in the smoky blue hills between the Cardinal and the Mockingbird
At 19 years, I joined Uncle Sam because I always wanted to serve
I left my family and I left my home in the hickory and the ash and the oak
And they shipped us off to a broken world where the dust would make you choke
We rode with a cat on a one-eyed dragon up medina ridge's sand
We've leaped from the highest heavens with St. Michael's warrior band
We've ridden bolts of tropic lightning all around the world
But I've never seen nothing like I saw that day when I found my golden-eyed girl
Bye-bye, I came back home with a heart of icy steel
I'd forgotten how to love, I'd forgotten how to pray, and I'd forgotten how to feel
It didn't take long before I found out that I didn't come home alone
Desert demons had followed me back and they chilled me to the bone
When the day is run and the work is done and it's finally time to lie down
Like the ghost of Luscious Clay, they get up and they walk around
We rode with a cat on a one-eyed dragon up Medina Ridge's sand
We've leaped from the highest heavens with St. Michael's warrior band
We've ridden bolts of tropic lightning all around the world
But I've never seen nothing like I saw that day when I found my golden-eyed girl
I wandered down the street to state in a little town called Bristol
I found her there in O'mainin's pub, looking hotter than a two-dollar pistol
She was five foot two with golden eyes and hair kissed by Celtic fire
She melted this hillbilly's icy heart and she scorched it with desire
Wild as a minx but sweet as soda pop
She gut hooked me hard when she sang old Rocky Top
I love her laugh and I love her smile and I love when she's feeling frisky
She's sugar and she's spice, and she's everything nice unless she's shooting whiskey
We rode with a cat on a one-eyed dragon up Medina Ridge's sand
We've leaped from the highest heavens with St. Michael's warrior band
We've ridden bolts of tropic lightning all around the world
But I never seen nothing like I saw that day when I found my golden-eyed girl
It's been nine years now since Lauren took my last name
I don't care if it's been a hundred years, I'll still love her just the same
She reminded me how to love, she reminded me how to pray
And late at night when the demons call, she chases those bastards away
We make our home in the harbor now, not far from the Valley of Thunder
The blessings we've received and the love we've found still fill us with awe and wonder
But if you're ever down and country music's home and it's true beauty you seek
If you take your time, well you just might find
Two golden-eyed girls and three blue-eyed boys
Splashing around Cedar Creek
We rode with a cat on a one-eyed dragon up Medina Ridge's sand
We've leaped from the highest heavens with St. Michael's warrior band
We've ridden bolts of tropic lightning all around the world
But I never seen nothing like I saw that day when I found my golden-eyed girl
Five Tennesseans we are a-molding'
Five young patriots too embolden'
But don't worry about me and the feisty one
For you see, our life is.... golden
