Lyrics
The Chevron on Cerrillos Road was closing up at ten,
I was counting out the quarters from the coffee can again.
The cashier just sighed, wouldn't meet my eye,
And the cold from the coin bit the palm of my hand.
[Chorus]
But You're my First National, my currency and gold,
The only true account my spirit holds.
I got nothing to my name and that's the gospel truth,
'Cause my one inheritance is You.
[Verse 2]
Remember that job up on Bishops Lodge Road?
The house smelled of lemon wax and money so old.
The host in her pearls said, "Honey, that's not your glass,"
And my hands felt like stone, rough and second-class.
[Chorus]
'Cause You're my First National, my currency and gold,
The only true account my spirit holds.
I got nothing to my name and that's the gospel truth,
'Cause my one inheritance is You.
[Bridge]
They can repossess the truck, they can cut the wire,
This framework You built, You just keep building higher.
[Outro]
My currency and gold.
My currency and gold.
