Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 The man had lost his way And he couldn't understand What the preacher man was about to say [Chorus] He said, "A fool's ambition is all you know There ain't no dollar gonna make you whole There ain't no telling what you've been told But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold" [Verse 2] He said, "I've been thinking about what you said It's been a minute since I made my bed I chased down a living, but I wasn't living at all And it shook me to the core, brother, when I heard your call" [Chorus] When a fool's ambition is all you know There ain't no dollar gonna make you whole There ain't no telling 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 [Bridge] A fool's ambition is all you know There ain't no dollar gonna make you whole There ain't no telling 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 [Chorus] When a fool's ambition is all you know There ain't no dollar gonna make you whole There ain't no telling 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 [Outro] No, your money won't buy you no poor man's gold No, your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
