[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 [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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 (What y'doin'? You gotta go…) [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes, you have to try to get along, dear I know the truth, and I know what you're thinking 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 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 (Fool's gold) [Instrumental Outro]
