Fool's Gold - Chris Shiflett

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

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

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

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
