Two unbelievably talented musicians, Anne Wilson and Jordan Davis, joined forces for the heartfelt “Country Gold” lyric video.
Many people would prefer to live and remain in large, metropolitan cities and their surrounding vicinity. Country life, for whatever reason, doesn’t appeal to them. They would rather avoid dirt roads, farmland and the states in the middle of the United States, commonly called “flyover country.”
All have different preferences, likes and tastes. Not every state or region of the United States is for everyone, which is fine. However, the country does seem to get looked down upon an awful lot.
In the official lyric video for “Country Gold,” posted on YouTube, Anne Wilson and Jordan Davis sing about how they were blessed to grow up in the country. They mention what they learned while living the country life and what it means to them and their families.
In the tune's opening verse, Anne addresses how many people overlook the country and small towns. Those areas don’t mean much to many people, but to her, it means everything. As she sings, she believes that she found “country gold.”
The song’s beautifully written chorus has both singers mentioning that what may not look like a whole lot to some people means everything to them. In fact, they add that what may not look like riches to those on the outside looking in is actually invaluable.
“To most, it might not look like much
But I put roots down here because
The richest people that I’ve ever known
Struck country gold”
Again, not every place in the world will appeal to every person. However, where people grew up is special and important to most people and holds an added significance and meaning. Flyover country and small towns are important to many people.
Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”
