The Bobdogs - Fool's Gold Lyrics

I've been a fool
Searching for the wrong things for so long
It seems like a bad dream now
As I look back

To see that everything
Would come undone
When I left you behind you gave a warning
You're the one who said

If you're heading out to that California town
Go and get lost, but come home found

Across the plains, through the high and dry desert
And mountain rains
And the wild nights in the city
Living sin, I thought I was a king

But then everything
Went up in smoke
I was wearing a crown made out of fool's gold
Of fool's gold yeah

So if you're traveling to that California town
Left your Midwest lover on the cold winter ground
The wind was howling when you slept out in your car
You would turn around, but you had gone too far

Oh mama if you'd seen the things I'd done
If my daddy didn't have those guns
Down by the river I was not at peace
So I crawled to the ocean on my knees

If you're heading out of that California town
Where dreams are lost, but salvation can be found
The trees are burning on both sides of the highway
You would go home if only you knew the way
You would go home if only you knew the way
You can go home, you already know the way
