Well if you could have seen me makin’ last night’s rounds You would have seen a sorry sorry sight Just a stumblin’ fool passing judgements from a stool With a shot of gold, a quarter to make it right
It’s a shot of gold José behind the bar With a woman next to me I used to know It’s a shot of gold It’s just shining like a star Shot of gold at the end of my rainbow It’s gonna take me just about anywhere I wanna go
If you could have heard all the words that I said I swear you wouldn’t have heard a thing ‘Cept what a bad way of living it can do to your head And the peace that a shot of gold can bring
It’s a shot of gold Hey José behind the bar A woman next to me I used to know It’s that shot of gold It’s just shining like a star A shot of gold at the end of my rainbow It’s gonna take me just about anywhere I wanna go
And if you could have known all the thoughts in my head I swear you would have known everything When the trust is gone and the feeling’s dead And then it’s time for a drink
From that shot of gold Yeah José behind the bar A woman next to me I used to know It’s that shot of gold It’s just shining like a star A shot of gold at the end of my rainbow It’s gonna take me just about anywhere I wanna go
It’s that shot of gold Hey José behind the bar It’s a woman next to me I used to know It’s that shot of gold It’s just shining like a star A shot of gold at the end of my rainbow It’s gonna take me just about anywhere I wanna go
It’s that shot of gold Hey José behind the bar And a woman next to me I used to know It’s that shot of gold It’s just shining like a star A shot of gold at the end of my rainbow It’s gonna take me just about anywhere I wanna go
