Song Lyrics

I guess my dad was a good man Well at least he tried
Never took shit from anybody All he owned was his pride
Joined the US Navy
To run away from home
Gave the world the middle finger Then he died alone
But he said, Hey before you get old You've been bought and sold
Don't believe everything you've been told Hang on to that fool's gold
Momma I apologize
I can't listen no more
I've lost the will to agonize It's scattered on the floor
And my heart is like an abandoned house
On a cul-de-sac in a desert ghost town
Where the rain don't fall in an endless drought And the dust chokes the vine til the love dies out

Hey before you get old
You've been bought and sold
Don't believe everything you've been told Hang on to that fool's gold
Hey before you get old
You've been bought and sold
Don't believe anything you've been told Hang on to that fool's gold
