If You Want to Find Love

Kenny Rogers · Through the Years: A Reteospective [1999]

He was sitting on a bar stool

A picture from a cheating song

She'd been standing by the jukebox

Dropping quarters all night long.



He said, tell me: are you lonely?

Is there some place we can go?

She said: cowboy, you know I'm lonely

But there's something you should know.



If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains

If you wanna find silver go digging in stones

If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible

If you wanna find love go looking at home.



She touched the gold ring on his finger

And held it to the jukebox light

And she said. Stranger, think what you're losing

If you leave here with me tonight.



So he hold her body closer

She felt feelings she'd never known

And he said: thank you, for the lesson

And if you need me I'll be at home.



If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains

If you wanna find silver go digging in stones

If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible

If you wanna find love go looking at home...
