Fool’s Gold

I used to live the good life

Had a family and a home

A respectable position

I was just like Mr. Jones

But inside me was a black sheep

Oh, just kickin' to leave the fold

I was truly blinded

By that fool's gold

Sometimes a man gets so tired

Of that same old

Same old

So I stared at my reflection

This must have been some other man's fate

'Cause the grass, it sure looks greener

When you're standin' on the other side of the gate

So I packed up and hit the highway

Man, I was out to beat the world

I was truly taken

By that fool's gold

Sometimes a man gets so tired

Of that same old, same old

Same old

Sometimes I get to yearnin'

For the way things used to be

But I can't stay with nobody

Can't stay with nobody who needs to stay with me

And when it's too hot in the kitchen

I run out into the cold

I was so mistaken

By that fool's gold

Sometimes a man gets so tired

Of that same old

Same old

You hold love in your hand

You hold love in your hand

But is just fool's gold

You dream about a romance

But it can be bought and sold

Bought and sold, bought and sold

Don't you be mistaken

Don't you be mistaken by that fool's gold
