Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
[PreChorus]
I'm no clown, I won't back down
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
Down, down, down, down, da, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, da, down, down, down
[Chorus]
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
[Verse 2]
These boots were made for walking
The Marquis de Sade never made no boots like these
Gold's just around the corner
Breakdown's coming up 'round the bend
Sometimes you have to try to get along, dear
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking
[PreChorus]
Down, down, down, down, da, down, down, down
[Chorus]
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
[Refrain]
Fool's gold
[Chorus]
I'm standing alone
I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm standing alone
You're weighing the gold
I'm watching you sinking
Fool's gold
[Refrain]
Fool's gold
