此首《Pocket Full of Gold》為美國鄉村歌手Vince Gill於1991所發行第4張錄音室同名專輯中的主打歌曲，在告示牌鄉村排行榜獲得第7名。

此曲的共同作者Brian Allsmiller時為納許維爾Vanderbilt 大學的籃球隊員。依據Gill的說法，這位Allsmiller喜歡寫歌，並不時提供給Gill及要求給予意見，其中一首歌的歌詞有這句「Pocket Full of Gold」，Gill很喜歡這個想法，並以此作為歌曲的 靈感，儘管最後是獨自完成了此曲，但仍將Allsmiller列為共同寫作者。

歌曲說的是已婚男人為了得到女人，除了隱藏婚戒還扯謊和給予承諾，如此換得來的快樂，也引來其他人的妒忌，終也為此付出了代價 → on the wrong end of a gun，連命也給丟了？

Vince Gill以令人愉悅的風度和頻繁參加慈善活動而聞名，因此許多刊物稱他為「nicest guy in Nashville」。Gill之前共獲得過22座的葛萊美獎，成就非凡，是鄉村音樂藝人中的佼佼者。影音中的女歌手是Patty Loveless，確曾在錄製此曲時擔任合音，也是位知名的鄉村女歌手。

He slipped the ring off his finger
When he walked in the room
And he found him some stranger
And promised her the moon
How many lies you must have told
You think you're a rich man
With your pocket full of gold

For another man's treasure
You'd say anything
But is one night of pleasure
Worth the trouble you'll bring
Don't look so surprised
'Cause son I should know
I once was a rich man
With my pocket full of gold

Some night you're gonna wind up
On the wrong end of a gun
Some jealous guy's gonna show up
And you'll pay for what you've done
What will it say on your tombstone
Here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold

Yeah, here lies a rich man
With his pocket full of gold
