Poor Man's Gold Songtext

The rich man asked the preacher to help him find the truth
He was looking for his soul, that got thrown out with his youth
Spent a whole life chasing money
Man had lost his way
And he couldn′t understand what the preacher man was about to say

He said, "A fool's ambition is all you know
There ain′t no doubt, it's gonna make you whole
There ain't no tellin′ what you′ve been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man′s gold"

He said, "I've been thinking about what you said
It′s been a minute since I made my bed
I chased down the living, but I wasn't living at all
And it shook me to the cold, brother, when I heard your call"


When a fool′s ambition is all you know
There ain't no doubt, it's gonna make you whole
There ain′t no tellin′ what you've been told
But your money won′t buy you no poor man's gold
No, your money won′t buy you no poor man's gold

Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

A fool′s ambition is all you know
There ain't no doubt, it's gonna make you whole
There ain′t no tellin′ what you've been told
But your money won′t buy you no poor man's gold
No, your money won′t buy you no poor man's gold

When a fool′s ambition is all you know
There ain't no doubt, it's gonna make you whole
There ain′t no tellin′ what you've been told
But your money won′t buy you no poor man's gold
No, your money won′t buy you no poor man's gold

No, your money won′t buy you no poor man's gold
No, your money won't buy you no poor man′s gold
