Fool's Gold

I guess my dad was a good man Well at least he tried Never took shit from anybody All he owned was his pride Joined the US Navy To run away from home Gave the world the middle finger Then he died alone But he said, Hey before you get old You've been bought and sold Don't believe everything you've been told Hang on to that fool's gold Momma I apologize I can't listen no more I've lost the will to agonize It's scattered on the floor And my heart is like an abandoned house On a cul-de-sac in a desert ghost town Where the rain don't fall in an endless drought And the dust chokes the vine til the love dies out Hey before you get old You've been bought and sold Don't believe everything you've been told Hang on to that fool's gold Hey before you get old You've been bought and sold Don't believe anything you've been told Hang on to that fool's gold
