Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
He spends five days a week making the mighty white oaks fall,
A humble, God-fearing logger answering the whistle's call.
He works the chainsaw hard and true, earning his honest bread,
With a quiet faith inside his heart and a cap upon his head.
But when Friday evening rolls around and the heavy equipment stops,
He leaves the dust and diesel smoke back at the timber shops.
He spends his weekends down in Morgan-Monroe where the quiet waters flow,
Seeking out the tiny blessings the glaciers left behind.
(Chorus)
Oh, they call him Gold Toes, the gold pannin' logger of the hills,
Wading through the weekend creeks to pay his daily bills.
The boys down at the sawmill laugh, but everybody knows:
"The Good Lord gave him a compass, he smells gold with his toes!"
(Verse 2)
Saturday morning finds him where the tall poplars grow,
Kicking off his leather boots to let the cool creek flow.
He don't seek a life of luxury, he don't pan out of greed,
Just looks for a few bright yellow flakes for what his family needs.
He swirls the water in the pan beneath the autumn skies,
While the fellas swear his left foot knows exactly where it lies.
They say his big toe twitches when the bedrock's getting near,
Shouting, "Find a pocket, Gold Toes, and bring some fortune here!"
(Chorus)
Yeah, they call him Gold Toes, the gold pannin' logger of the hills,
Wading through those weekend creeks to pay his daily bills.
The boys down at the sawmill laugh, but everybody knows:
"The Good Lord gave him a compass, he smells gold with his toes!"
(Bridge)
Come Sunday morn he's on the bench, his boots back on his feet,
Singing praises to the Almighty from a wooden pew seat.
He thanks the Lord for timber, and the weekend in the clay,
And the strange and funny talent that helps him lead the way.
(Verse 3)
Monday morning at the yard, they gather round his truck,
To see if the old gold pannin' logger had finally struck his luck.
Old Jim yells from the loader, "Did you say your prayers on time,
Or did that blessed left foot point you to a big gold mine?"
Gold Toes just chuckles softly and points up to the sky,
"He guides my steps through the wilderness, boys, and that's the reason why."
(Chorus)
Oh, they call him Gold Toes, the hold pannin' logger of the hills,
Wading through the weekend creeks to pay his daily bills.
The boys down at the sawmill laugh, but everybody knows:
"The Good Lord gave him a compass, he smells gold with his toes!"
(Outro)
Yeah, he smells it with his toes...
Just a faithful weekend gold panner where the quiet water flows.
Keep your faith in the Lord, and your feet in the gravel, Gold Toes.
(Fade out with a warm, steady acoustic guitar strum)
