Lyrics
By the time we got the kids to bed you were shaking in your boots
You said you had something to talk about, honey have you heard the news?
Twenty thousand if you roll it right, that old river's bout to burst
Baby don't go, it's nothing but a fool's gold
It took six months to get you there, couple more to get the news
And you're living in a paper tent, I'm here holding up this roof
Every day it takes another man, all with fever in their eyes
Baby come home, the dirt is telling cheap lies
And you dig like a dog all day, don't you think we're animals living this way?
Get your fill and you get out quick,
but it's been three long winters and no sign of you quitting
By the time we got the flowers there, you were dug into the ground
And the dirt you sought your treasure in is where my soul can now be found
Should have figured you were headed for where the streets are lined with gold
Baby go home, I made my peace years ago
Baby go home, there's nothing here but fool's gold
