Fool's Gold Lyrics

I keep a knife sharp, keep my doors locked

Keep a flag up if that sun aint gonna shine

Might hibernate 'til summertime

When the brows sweat

Well I just keep on

When the money comes

Naw it don't last long, America

If these wheels keep on turning

They gonna turn to the sound of a diesel engine last call to full load

If this road keeps on winding

You're gonna wind up in the whiskey tellin' stories untold

And your words won't mean a durn thing

Coming from a ramblin' man wearing fool's gold

Keep my taxes paid, my rifle clean

My grill hot, for that smoke and steam

For my family I've got mouths to feed

Tools on hand in the back of my truck

Don't need a hand, naw I just man up

I'll try my luck, America

When the day starts I'm up and gone

I don't miss my mark

It's down to a T

That's a 10, there's a 9 on me

And a dot on you if you make me do what I gotta do, America

If these wheels keep on turning

They gonna turn to the sound of a diesel engine last call to full load

If this road keeps on winding

You're gonna wind up in the whiskey tellin' stories untold

And your words won't mean a durn thing

Coming from a ramblin' man wearing fool's gold

Don't believe the lies

It's getting old

You forgot what you were made of

This town of mine ain't like it was

When the tax owed paid for the backroads

And your words won't mean a durn thing

When we split the seams

Like a country in civil war

And our heroes roll over in the grave

You can't just shrug a shoulder

When a soldier has to pay

So if these wheels keep on turning

They gonna turn to the sound of a diesel engine last call to full load

If this road keeps on winding

You're gonna wind up in the whiskey tellin' stories untold

And your words won't mean a durn thing

Coming from a ramblin' man

Won't mean a durn thing

Coming from a ramblin' man

Won't mean a durn thing

Coming from a ramblin' man

Wearing fool's gold
