  • It ain't easy, nobody said it would be
    You finally find that greener grass, but you're still in the weeds
    Ain't it crazy, all the time that you spend
    Drivin' through the rainbow for the pot at the end

    I got some rust on my Chevy but it's ready to roll
    I got a rhinestone sky and a song in my soul
    It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road
    Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold

    I've been climbin', tryin' to get to the view
    I'm at the bottom but the sky's still pretty damn blue
    They say heaven is somewhere on the other side
    But I ain't waitin', hell, I'm thinkin', it's a state of mind

    I got some rust on my Chevy but it's ready to roll
    I got a rhinestone sky and a song in my soul
    It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road
    Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold
    Yeah, it feels like gold
    Yeah, it feels like gold

    Got my baby sittin' by me, shinin' like a diamond
    Only silver linings in the clouds
    And if it starts to rain, I don't worry 'bout a thing
    I pull my rose-colored Ray-Bans out

    I got some rust on my Chevy but it's ready to roll
    I got a rhinestone sky and a song in my soul
    It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road
    Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold
    Yeah, it feels like gold (yeah, it does)
    Yeah, it feels like gold
    It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road
    Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold
