[Verse 1]
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


[Chorus]
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


[Verse 2]
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


[Chorus]
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


[Verse 3]
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


[Chorus]
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


[Chorus]
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


[Chorus]
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
