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.
