[Verse 1]
Led out on a leash behind you, holding ground
And I don't need no reminding, I've been around
Been around, yeah, I am a sound, yeah

[Verse 2]
Lie down with your peace where you find it
Won't come cheap
Fill up on love when you're hungry, tired then sleep
Have your dreams

[Chorus]
Don't let it wind you, let it bring you down
I hate to tell you how little I have found

[Refrain]
They paved the road with fool's gold

[Bridge]
And you're gonna fall out
You're gonna break down, choke and cry
Waiting out the storm when there ain't no place to hide
And you're gonna fall out
You're gonna break down, choke and cry
Waiting out the storm till the skies are clear to fly

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
And you're gonna fall out
You're gonna break down, choke and cry
Waiting out the storm till the skies are clear to fly

[Verse 3]
Follow where it leads, your heart will know what's true
Don't be blinded by shiny pretty things well past due
It's on you, yeah, it's on you, yeah

[Chorus]
Don't let it wind you, let it bring you down
I hate to tell you how little I have found

[Bridge]
And you're gonna fall out
You're gonna break down, choke and cry
Waiting out the storm when there ain't no place to hide
And you're gonna fall out
You're gonna break down, choke and cry
Waiting out the storm till the skies are clear to fly

[Refrain]
They paved the road with fool's gold
They paved the road with fool's gold
