Stacey Earle - Lookin' for Fool's Gold lyrics

rate me

(Mark Stuart)

Keep yourself poor with nothing to show

Always put the ones who love you on hold

Still seeking riches down another mans road

And the prize is under your nose

You're looking for fools gold, you don't want to know

In front of your face is a vein of pure gold

If you mined your own heart you'd find an empty hole

Foolish pride dressed up as fools gold

Glitter will blind you till you can't see

Living a lie won't set you free

One of these days I hope you'll agree

What you've sown is what you'll reap

You could have the worlds biggest shovel in your hand

And the hardest working crew, man for man

You just don't seem to understand

There's no pay dirt in quicksand
