Lyrics:

R.B. Dooley caught the gold bug
When he found a shiny nugget in the ground
Lost his friends to find his fortune
After years, heartache’s all he found

Worn down, lonely and busted
Tempted to leave his dreams behind
When a man in a suit made an offer
With a handshake Dooley sold the mine

Three feet away, just three feet away
Dooley’s dream lay three feet away
He’d spent a long, long time diggin’ in that mine
He gave up, he was three feet away

The city man brought in an engineer
Mapped it out and found a golden vein
Just a stone’s throw from where he gave up diggin’
Lay the fortune Dooley never got to claim

Three feet away, just three feet away
Dooley’s dream lay three feet away
He’d spent a long, long time diggin’ in that mine
But he gave up just three feet away

Dooley heard talk about the gold strike
Followed wagons headed toward the mine
Saw that city slicker laughin’
‘Cause that man found what Dooley couldn’t find
