Lyrics

[Verse 1] I chased a lot of rainbows Down a lot of roads Thinkin' love was somethin' To be bought or sold But I finally found a treasure And it's right here in your eyes Now, my golden dreams are of golden rings Precious love without a price [Chorus] Now, I'm goin' for the gold (Goin' for the gold) For the heart's that's in you I'm goin' for the love (Goin' for the love) That I know will be true I've had enough (I've had enough) Of those one-night stands I'm goin' for the gold that's in a wedding band [Verse 2] I followed those illusions That sparkled in the night But they were fantasies That disappeared in the light The midnight fires that burn so bright Turn to ashes in the dawn I didn't realize how empty I was inside Until you came along [Chorus] Now, I'm goin' for the gold (Goin' for the gold) For the heart's that's in you I'm goin' for the love (Goin' for the love) That I know will be true I've had enough (I've had enough) Of those one-night stands I'm goin' for the gold that's in a wedding band [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Now, I'm goin' for the gold (Goin' for the gold) For the heart's that's in you I'm goin' for the love (Goin' for the love) That I know will be true I've had enough (I've had enough) Of those one-night stands I'm goin' for the gold that's in a wedding band [Chorus] Now, I'm goin' for the gold (Goin' for the gold) For the heart's that's in you I'm goin' for the love (Goin' for the love) That I know will be true I've had enough (I've had enough) Of those one-night stands I'm goin' for the gold that's in a wedding band [Outro] Now, I'm goin' for the gold (Goin' for the gold) For the heart's that's in you I'm goin' for the love (Goin' for the love) That I know will be true I've had enough (I've had enough) Of those one-night stands
