Verse 1
We 
were 
heading 
on 
home, 

Diesel 
and 
me 

Down 
an 
old 
gravel 
road, 

way 
out 
in 
the 
country 

Tuckered 
out 
after 
working 

the fields 
all 
day 

When 
all 
of 
a sudden, 
off 
like 
a shot 

That 
dog 
took 
off 
running, 

barking 
his 
head 
off 

Wherever 
he 
went, 

he 
went 
like 
there 
was 
hell 
to 
pay 

Verse 2

So 
lickety-split, 

crashed 
through 
the 
fields 

Chasing 
after 
that 
hound 
and 

was 
hot 
on 
his 
heels 

When 
we 
both 
went 
over 
the 

edge 
of 
deep 
rav
ine 

As 
crawled 
up 
the bank, 

cold 
and 
soaked 
to 
the 
bone 

A glint 
caught 
my 
eye 
from 

the 
mud 
where 
it 
shone 

Something 
was 
buried 
there, 

alongside 
the stream 

Verse 3

Now 
the middle 
of 
a field 
is 

pretty 
odd 
place 

To find 
some 
kind 
of trunk 

or 
a chest 
or 
a crate 

But 
buried 
under 
the 
earth, 

I saw 
a corner 
ex
posed 

No, 
there 
wasn't 
a map 
or 
a note 
or 
key 

It 
was 
clearly 
forgotten, 
just 
waiting 
for me 

Like 
was sup
posed 
to find 
it 
there, 

Interlude 1
right 
under 
my 
nose 



Verse 4
It 
had 
laid 
there 
for years, 
deep 
in 
the 
dirt 

So 
dug 
it 
out 
and 
wiped 

my 
hands 
on 
my shirt 

pried 
up 
the 
lid 
and 
ex

citedly 
peered 
in
side 

And 
what 
saw 
was 
a sight 

to 
behold

'Cause 
that 
tattered 
old 
trunk 

was 
crammed 
full 
of 
gold 

My 
eyes 
bugged 
out, 

it 
was 
enough 
to 
make 
grown 
man 
cry 

Verse 5
Big 
golden 
bricks 
with 
a shimmery 
sheen 

They 
were 
a stag
gering 
sight 

to 
a poor 
boy 
like 
me 

And 
right 
then 
and 
there 
knew 
what 

had 
to do 

So 
with 
a smile, 
sold 
what 
little 
had 

gave 
my 
pots 
and 
my 
pans 

to 
my mo
m and 
my 
dad 

And 
then 
bought 
that 
field 
'cause 
it 
was 
my 
dream 

come 
true 

Interlude 2



Verse 6
And 
then, 
full 
of 
joy, 

I said 
good
bye 
to 
my 
shack 

It 
wasn't 
much 
of a 
home, 

so 
never 
looked 
back 

And 
never 
questioned 
the 

choice 
happily 
made 

I said 
need 
that 
field, 

whatever 
it 
takes 

You might 
call 
it 
foolish, 
but 
I'd 
call 
it 
faith 

Trusting 
in 
God 
so 
gladly, 

you 
can't 
hardly 
wait 

Verse 7
And 
that's 
how 
I learned 

how 
rich 
fella 
counts 

His 
treasure 
in 
heaven, 

not 
under 
the 
ground 

'Cause 
betting 
the farm 

is 
well 
worth 
the 
risk 

To 
carefully 
keep 
such 
beauti
ful 
gift 

That's 
yours 
forever, 

it's 
pretty 
good 
deal 

Verse 8

There's 
couple 
of 
things 

more 
pre
cious 
than 
gold 

One 
is 
your 
heart 
and 
the 

other's 
your soul 

And 
you've 
got 
something 
unique 

that 
nobody 
can steal 

Verse 9

It's 
a fable, 
you see, 

and 
the mor
al 
is 
this 

Your 
heart's 
with 
your 
treasure, 

wherever 
it 
is 

And 
trust 
me, 
when 
you 
dig, 

a treasure 
will be 
re
vealed 

And 
you 
never 
know 
what 
could 
be 
buried 
in 
the middle 
of 
a field

    Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    "

    I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    "

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    "

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    "

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
