Goldmine (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Daddy, you're a pilgrim on your own kind of cloud
You've got all the possessions to make a family so proud
But a house on a hill ain't everybody's dream
All the riches and the pleasures ain't everything

[Chorus]
No, I don't want the goldmine
I don't want what you've got
No, I don't want the goldmine
I just wanna be alright

[Verse 2]
You're the biggest and the brightest and the smartest one around
You've really tried your hardest to show your face in this town
But you left the ones you loved to be with someone new
And this paper made of green is really making me blue

[Chorus]
No, I don't want the goldmine
I don't want what you've got
No, I don't want the goldmine
I just wanna be alright

[Bridge]
Mama don't want me to fail
Mama don't want me to end up in jail
Mama don't want me to turn out like you
It turns out sometimes I do

[Chorus]
But I don't want the goldmine
I don't want what you've got
No, I don't want the goldmine
I just wanna be alright
I just wanna be alright
I just wanna be alright

With four critically-acclaimed albums under her belt, Kelsey Waldon has forged a strong presence in the Country and Americana scene. Her uncut lyricism and natural country sensibility recall her upbringing in Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky. After moving to Nashville, she cultivated a loyal following through frequent touring across the U.S. and two critically acclaimed albums. Her persistence paid off when, on stage at the Grand Ole Opry, John Prine invited Kelsey to join his Oh Boy Records family. In 2019, Kelsey released White Noise / White Lines on Prine's Oh Boy Records. An unflinching work that details Waldon's life, hopes, and pains, the album earned her a nomination for the Emerging Act of the Year Award at the 2020 Americana Awards.
