He said son I know you're young
But there's something you should know
There's more to life than how you pay the rent
And I haven't given much, but what I have to you I'll give
The same way that my daddy gave to me
Don't waste time chasing gold
Just use your heart, and spare your soul
It's only when that you can't hold
Don't you know?
Yeah don't you know
A thousand miles from home
We're years down the road
Just wasting time on another man's dream
Well if lies were money, then I'd be a king for a day
I remember what you said to me that night
It chills me like a cold winter breeze
Don't waste time chasing gold
Just use your heart, spare your soul
It's only when that you can't hold
So I packed my bags, and I headed home
Don't waste time chasing gold
Just use your heart, and spare your soul
It's only when that you can't hold
Don't you know?
Yeah don't you know
