Chris Shiflett Fool S Gold Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 U.S. Navy
To run away from home
Gave the world the middle finger
Then he died alone
But he said

[Chorus]
Hey, before you get old
You've been bought and sold
Don't believe everything you've been told
Hang on that fool's gold
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2]
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 vines 'til the love dies out

[Chorus]
Hey, before you get old
You've been bought and sold
Don't believe everything you've been told
Hang on that fool's gold"
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Hey, before you get old
You've been bought and sold
Don't believe everything you've been told
Hang on that fool's gold
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
